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.

            Main features of CharView:
        - system-wide utility window (floating above documents windows)
        - menu icon (small icon shown in menubar, CharView main window hidden before the user moves the mouse pointer into this icon)
        - auto-iconify (if you want it to be visible at any position on the screen as a small icon)
        - view font symbols in ASCII (256 chars) or Unicode (entire font)
        - auto-zoomed (magnified) symbol in table without a click
        - copy symbol to the clipboard and insert it into the frontmost application with one click
        - insert symbol, it's HTML entity, decimal or hexadecimal code into the frontmost application with one click from contextual menu
        - fully resizable window
        - up to 20 of the last used fonts remembered
        - fonts grouped by families for fast searching of fonts
        - editable font name field for fast switching fonts
        - works with all native OS X, OS X Classic applications

The non-registered version has up to 128 random-selected symbols disabled in the table.
The disabled symbols can not be copied or inserted.
