Using the Unicode Character Viewer

Selecting a Unicode Category

  1. Open the Unicode character viewer in your web browser.
  2. Locate the dropdown menu labeled "Select Unicode Category. Choose CJK category for Chinese, Japanes and Korean Characters".
  3. Click on the dropdown menu to view the list of available categories.
  4. Select a category from the list.

Viewing Unicode Characters

  1. After selecting a category, the Unicode characters in that category will be displayed in a grid format.
  2. Each character is displayed inside a box with a size of 40px by 40px.
  3. You can click on any character box to select it. The selected character will be copied to the clipboard, which you can paste at your desired location.

Understanding the Interface

  • Dropdown Menu: Allows you to select different Unicode categories to view the characters within those ranges.
  • Character Grid: Displays all characters from the selected category. Each character is shown in a 40px by 40px box for easy viewing and selection.

Troubleshooting

  • Characters Displayed as Boxes: If some characters are displayed as empty boxes, it means that the current font does not support those Unicode characters. To resolve this, try using a different font that supports a wider range of Unicode characters.
  • No Characters Displayed: Ensure you have selected a category from the dropdown menu.
  • CJK Character Categories: When you have selected any CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character categories, please give some time for the page to load as the number of characters in the language is very large.
