About this plugin

🔍 View glyphs at a glanceView glyphs with a specified fontFavourite your most used charactersFilter and search for glyphs within unicode blocksUseful for viewing ornament/dingbat fonts in FigmaSearch by name, not by scrollingType "arrow", "heart" or "bullet" and get the character. Paste one in to find out what it is. Type its character code if you already know it.Chinese, Japanese and KoreanChinese characters are searchable by pinyin, by Cantonese reading, and by English meaning.EmojiEmoji come from your computer, not the font you're looking at, so they stay available no matter which font you pick.Icon fonts by nameIcon fonts normally show up as a wall of unlabelled boxes. Glyph Explorer supports Font Awesome, Material Icons and Typicons, so you can search "bell" or "calendar" and get the icon.See your font's alternatesLigatures, small caps, stylistic sets and alternate numerals are hidden inside the font with no name or code of their own. Glyph Explorer attempts to find the ones your font has and shows you what they look at a bird's eye view.✨ UpgradeFREELatin and Supplementary characters — accents, punctuation, ligatures, currency and phonetics. Plus all emoji, search, the text box, favourites, font alternates, and sending characters to your canvas.UPGRADEEverything else: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Cyrillic, maths symbols, icon fonts, 200+ more writing systems, and your own custom character codes. Plus automatic font scanning, which attempts to find every character in a font without you choosing anything. (disclaimer: because this plugin works locally and does not access font files, a 100% match to the glyph set is not guaranteed. If you need absolute precision I recommend using a program such as Adobe Illustrator).---❣️ Due to some code limitations, font styles may not always load properly, particularly if the font uses unorthodox font style naming conventions. Unfortunately there isn't really a nice way to get around this at this stage.❣️ This plugin does not replace the glyphs functionality in Adobe apps. Effort has been made to make this plugin as intuitive as possible, however since no local font is accessed, not all glyphs may be shown.---♥️ If you have any feedback or suggestions please leave a comment or email me at [email protected].
