Description
Not just another character map. (Really.) Did you know that many fonts contain characters and pictures that cannot be accessed with the keyboard or even with a regular character palette? Ultra Character Map lets you access any character or glyph in any font and use it in other apps. It also lets you do side-by-side font comparisons, print font catalogs, view detailed character and font information (including the keystroke combinations that produce special or accented characters) and much more. And it's really easy to use. 

Main Features: 

- Unlock everything your fonts have to offer. Access any character, symbol or glyph in any font and use it in your documents. 

- Fun with colors and 3D effects. Create your own clip art by applying colors and 3D effects to any character, symbol or glyph.

- Say it in Emoji. Ultra Character Map gives you access to all Emoji characters available in macOS. To use an Emoji character, just drag or copy it into your document. 

- Compare fonts the easy way. Enter text once, then simply scroll through a list to see a preview in every font. Don't want to look at all your fonts? You can filter the list by style, classification, collection, name or font folder. Ultra Character Map lets you preview header or paragraph text and includes preset samples to save you even more time. 

- Print font catalogs and font samples. Ultra Character Map lets you print custom font catalogs, font samples and character maps or save them as PDF documents. 

- Useful tools for graphic designers, webmasters and app developers. Ultra Character Map shows all the glyphs in your fonts (even glyphs that are not associated with a character) and lets you view Bézier curves and copy them to other apps. It also features an HTML entity palette, a Unicode 11.0 grid and panels that display extensive character and font information. 

But wait, there's more. Ultra Character Map lets you pick favorite fonts and characters, view characters or text copied from other apps, view the keystrokes that produce specific characters (even if they require multiple steps, such as "Option-N then Shift-N") and much more.

Awesome!

The best app on my computer. Its the key to using some fonts that are patterns and not letters. They are useless without this app.

Still no KeyCaps option, but this helps!!

I use some music symbol fonts, and I have missed some long lost function to look at keycaps to see where the symbols "live" on the keyboard. Ultra Character Map does two things I've found very helpful. First, it can create font catalog (print or PDF) that you can customize. This is great when you have large numbers of fonts (like when you stupidly install one of those 2000 fonts collections). And second, it can create a reference file to show you all the characters that are available in that font. Though this isn't a KeyCap option, at least you can find your desired character easily, and either copy-paste or use the key-strokes (which are shown).

Critical utility for full Unicode access

This utility is one of the only ways to access AND INPUT the full range of Unicode character. Intuitive interface and good display.

Excellent Little Utility

I love this little program. I use it to enlarge the Apple emoji characters so I can see them more easily. Also, I can quickly view all of the characters of any font to find just the right one for any project. I especially like the ability to copy any character of any font to memory as text or as a graphic. I can paste a graphic font character onto a page, set its attribute to ‘wrap’ or ‘no wrap’ and easily resize it to whatever I need without disturbing the size of existing fonts and line spacing on a page.
