CharView 3 Documentation |
Features
All fonts have many symbols
(not all of which can be printed...).
The UTF-16 Unicode font can have thousands of symbols.
Keyboards usually only have 101 keys (sometimes more or less a bit).
So, if you want to type something that is not on the keyboard ... you need this utility.
