Unicode CharMap – Lite

Mihai Nita

About this app

This application can be used as an Unicode explorer, or an advanced character picker.
Free as in beer, no spying, no adds, no in-app purchases :-)

The lite version does not include embedded fonts, nor extra support for Kanji characters (Unihan database). This makes it (much) smaller than the full version.

You can browse the full Unicode range, jump to Unicode code points or blocks of your choice, or search in character names.

For all characters you get the standard information in the Unicode Character Database (UCD).

Supports characters beyond Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) and Emoji (including the color Emoji starting with Android 4.3).

Ratings and reviews

Excellent app -- easy to use, with many useful features. Lets me search for either a text string (if I'm looking for a specific character) or Unicode block (if I'm browsing the database). The Favorites feature is a time-saver that lets me save a list of characters I use often. I've tried several Unicode apps, and this is the one I've stuck with, for features and ease-of-use. Thanks to the dev!

I'm switching over to the "full" version today but before I did so I wanted to leave a rating for this one. I've been using it for several years and it's been my preferred app for searching and copypasting unicode chars . For me the embedded fonts are valuable because the system fonts are missing wide swaths of the code space.

In the latest version (2021.09.09-lite), the app just close immediately right after launch. No FC dialog shown. Trying to uninstall/install with no luck. Was working fine in previous version. FYI for developer, still a great app through. TBA: Working flawlessly on version 2021.09.17-lite. Thanks for the quick fix! 👍
