Unicode Map

Lets you browse Unicode characters by range and search for them by name, display them (when Android has the font) and copy them to the clipboard. It can also decode a string of Unicode characters to names.

This is a very basic program, I wrote it because Android offers no other way to enter exotic characters.

As advertised, w/o any ads even. Bug: • There’s some bug assoc. w/ text-box selection, which crashes it (rel. to cps. req. surrogation?). Limitations: • HT would be useful • Find by name or jump to codepoint would be inordinately useful, especially if the latter could enter Surr./PUAs • Nonsp./Spec. cps. compound in textbox, making it hard to see what’s there; in the sel. list nonsp. marks are invisible or half-hidden. Suggestion: • A quick-sel lst wd be great. • Ins. shd use cursor pos.

The app is ok. But it does not have search button. So it is quite difficult to find what i am looking for. I have to scroll down and look at every line. It will be better if the developer insert "Search" button.

Modern Android usually disables the menu key by default, it has to be re-enabled for the search to work.

Straightforward and useful app that fills a gap in Android's input system.

Hasn't been updated since 2012.

Other "symbol" tools give you a selection, but this completely free app lets you see and use everything available in the system font. Be sure to check out the online documentation, which explains the "squares" that so bother those who evidently think their device should automatically support the Glagolitic and Old Persian alphabets. The interface is dated, and as others have noted a favorites list and less fussy search would be useful. Unfortunately, the developer admits to being poor at maintaining projects, so we're unlikely to see updates. 😞 Meantime, you can use this app for finding characters to add to the highly configurable SymbolsPanel.

The ability to delete characters/groups of characters that don't work on your device would be a fantastic add. Also an "add to favorites" would make this so much easier to use. Great app overall, sure beats searching the web for a single special character!

This app is great for the occasional entering of Unicode characters that aren't already on the English keyboard I use, such as the Latin Small Letter A With Ogonek! And to those who complain about no substring matching, it is a bad idea in an app like this (if I search for "a", I don't want "Katakana Letter Ke" or something to come up), not to mention you already have it: use asterisks. Thank you to the developer!

I have searched and searched and it looks like this app is the only one of its kind. Which is why it is great! However, it is really lacking in the holo department. And wildcards in search, really? Search should be simple and not nerdy. Having an advanced/precise search option in addition to simple search would be better. It doesn't look like this app is in active development anymore, but if it were I would love to see: holo GUI, better search, removal of legacy menu button and addition of action.

I kept seeing all these cute little symbols on instagram and I wanted in. This app has everything you could possibly want from birthday cakes to spouting whales to mount fuji and everything in between. Super easy to use as well-just scroll through selection, click, push the conveniently placed copy button, and then paste into your text message or instagram caption. Appear black and white on my galaxy s3, colored on the iphone. Thanks developer! This app is my new favorite thing!

A clean concise app that makes up for yet another feature Android forgot. Reminiscent of the Ctrl-W feature in WordPerfect or the Charmap feature in Windows. This is also really handy on Bluetooth keyboards that can't access even Android's limited character input (which makes me glad it's NOT integrated with a stock keyboard). The interface is more functional than I would have expected. Kudos! 👍

Note that this app only displays using existing fonts -- it does not install any new fonts. The app also demonstrates that the default fonts supplied on most Android phones are completely inadequate (thank you app! shame on Google!). Unfortunately there is no way on Android to add new fonts or to supply missing characters without rooting the phone.

Absolutely essential app to have. I don't understand how an app like this doesn't come with every phone. User Tip: hold back to bring up the menu. And search works, you just need to inclose your search in asterisks.

I no longer need it thanks to my s5 which is equipped with emojis but this could've been better if it was like a plug-in or add to the keyboard

Font issues aside, it's plenty good enough. Searching can be a hassle though

I tried gucharmap, but it doesn't let me search for symbols. This app does! To those complaining about empty boxes: this is a problem with your phone's font, not the app.

Great app! I have a problem with list 'streaking' when I try to scroll, making it rather difficult to use.

A. G. u. Jul 6, 2012     

good program, but it lacks the possibility to sort the categories/blocks (like in gucharmap for example)

Ben. P. Apr 10, 2013     

Does exactly as it says on the tin. It would be great if you could add a favourites list and make the each end wildcard search default...

Sta. S. Mar 26, 2013     

Could be useful to add some features for search: 1. Remember at least the last search entered, preferably search history. 2. Ability to save searches, ideally also to organize them in subfolders. 3. Search / group by main letter forms, e.g. all variants of letter "a" etc. Thanks again.

After replacing system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf with Ariel Unicode MS.ttf I can use your app to enter and even see all the symbols I was missing on my mobile phone. You are a genius and thank you for developing this very useful app!!

A simple, elegant solution to a problem that programs approach in large, complicated, several megabyte solutions!

A. G. u. Sep 1, 2012     

This sweet and simple application is exactly what I was looking for. It makes entering unicode characters on my PC much easier when I can look the code up on my phone without having to switch out of the application I am working in to find it.

A. G. u. May 6, 2015     

No better app of its kind is out there.

A. G. u. Apr 24, 2012     

Now only if Android would get onboard and give us missing fonts.
