About this app
Hassle-free typing of Unicode symbols without switching apps and tedious copy-pasting: Just type them directly from your keyboard!
Unicode Keyboard is free, comes without ads and does not require unnecessary permissions.
This app is not a lookup table, so if you don’t know the code point of the symbol you want to type, this app won’t be of much help for you. It works fine if you know your Unicode symbols by heart, though.
Important, especially for users from Myanmar: This app does not come with any fonts. In order to display certain characters, the underlying app you’re typing in needs to support displaying these characters. You still can access e.g. Myanmar letters, but this app cannot control how the letters will appear on screen.

This unicode keyboard is half the solution. It is excellent because it allows an easy way to input unicode codes, and even displays the character you encoded (if you have a comprehensive font installed). It fails because it gives you no way to browse the unicode characters when you cannot remember the exact code (sort of how you would put in emoji). It would be perfect if it could do both, but that's outside it's stated scope.

Useful, but needs improvement; for some reason, there's no shortcut to switch from the standard Samsung Keyboard to the Unicode keyboard, but there is for the other way around. Therefore, apart from the need for versatility, it's decent.

Hi and thank you for your feedback! I finally could look into this issue, but as far as I can tell right now, it’s probably outside of the scope of my app, since it cannot control the behaviour of the Samsung keyboard. However, depening on your Android version, the default keyboard switch button might be hidden in the status bar’s pulldown menu.

Exactly what I was looking for and works like a dream! After reading dozens of click-bait know-nothing blog posts advocating variations on "press alt" or sagely describing non-existent GBoard options I finally found this. Assuming you know what a codepoints and hexadecimal are this is probably what you are looking for too...
