alt Codes enables you to quickly and easily find the keyboard combinations in Windows to type symbols and characters that are not found on traditional keyboards. In addition to discovering the keyboard code for a character or symbol, you can quickly copy the character or symbol to the clipboard of your iOS device. With Universal Clipboard, any character or symbol copied on your iOS device can be instantly pasted on your Mac.

You need the heart symbols and flowers, also make a third party keyboard option so we don't have to keep copy and pasting. Please and thanks (✿◠‿◠)

Include Switch for Windows Alt Codes

This app is half as useful as it could be, since it doesn’t include Windows alt codes. And what’s with the naming convention for alt codes for the Mac, anyway? I’m pretty sure that alt characters have always been accessed by using the Option key in combination with other keys. The Alt key is a PC construct. On a Mac keyboard, alt is placed in the upper left corner of the Option key, for the sake of users looking for an Alt key, since there are users that operate in both Windows and Macintosh environments. So all of the key combos listed here are incorrectly attributed to the wrong name for the key. Please correct this error. Next item: using too much space for each character. One item per line is very inefficient for the interface. Place as many characters on a single page as will fit, then display the alt codes as a pop-up when the character is pressed. Provide a header for the character type, and make it swipeable for types. Characters on the first page, swipe left for symbols page, and so on. Provide the ability to switch between Windows and Mac codes. With these changes, you will have a much more useful product that I’d pay money for.

Very Handy Way to Enter Special Characters

It took me a while to get used to the organization for the characters but it sure comes in handy when you need to insert the odd character (e.g. the cent sign.)

Simple, does the job, and allows me to purge Alt+codes from my brain. Also useful for quick access to some Kaomoji on iOS! \m/_(>_<)_\m/
