PopChar X for Mac works with all modern applications that support Unicode. It makes it easy to navigate and search within fonts that contain thousands of characters.

Introducing PopChar 10 - Dive into an enhanced experience with more intuitive navigation and transform your text editing experience.

Search for characters by their names, find fonts that contain certain characters, explore the character set of fonts, collect your favorite characters, insert HTML symbols. PopChar makes all these font-related tasks easy.

With the tool, you can also take a look at fonts from a designer's perspective – see a font preview, check out what a given text fragment looks like in a certain font, and print beautiful font sheets.

Most of your fonts contain thousands of characters, many more than you can access from the keyboard. If you want to get the most out of your fonts, then PopChar X is the right tool for you.

The app makes "typing" of unusual characters easy without having to remember keyboard combinations. Whenever you need a special character, Pop Char for macOS is there to help. Click the "P" in the menu bar to display a table of characters. Select the desired character and it instantly appears in your document.
