Unicode Character Viewer 4+

Seriously, don’t waste your money. My first thought was to listen to the other reviews, but I had come here from a video uploaded by Design Bundles showing how I could use this app for special characters in Procreate. They were able to open their fonts, so surely, me being someone who knows the difference between OTF and TTF should have zero issue getting what I need.

That wasn’t the case. I have many OTF fonts downloaded onto my iPad, and unless I need to store them somewhere specific in order to open them in this app, they just aren’t working. (No TTF fonts are showing up either.) The other reviews are correct, all you can open here is Apple fonts. If someone finds a fix, please leave a review with instructions!

I was frightened with the poor reviews and having to pay to get this app after seeing a video showing it was supposed to be great with glyphs in Design Space. But I HAD to get to the special characters and while iFont was great for installing the free fonts on my iPad, it was admittedly NOT working for using the glyphs. I gambled the $0.99 to install Unicode…I opened it…and what do you know…every single font I installed with iFont was available in Unicode to view all the special characters and was so easy to “command-C” from Unicode (use the Append to Draft and then highlight that last box with a question mark and hit command-C) and then “command-V” into Design Space (your little box to edit letters-you do have to delete the automatic space in front and behind the pasted box with the question mark). If you are looking to access glyphs for Cricut Design Space, do not hesitate to invest the $0.99 for this app. YAY!!! I’m so excited to make such pretty words! Thank you for a great affordable app!

Like many others, I came here after seeing a design bundles video showing how to copy glyphs and paste them into procreate. Initially I was disappointed that fonts I had download were not visible through this app. But, I found you need to first add the fonts onto your operating system and then they will be visible. I did this by using the ifont app. It wasn’t a clear process but it worked.
