A tour
Real screenshots — search, character detail, magnify, blocks, favorites, and the keyboard actually inserting characters into another app.
Type a name, a word, or a description — search covers every named character plus curated aliases.
Codepoint, Unicode block, category, and one-tap-to-copy HTML, CSS, JS, Swift, and UTF-8 forms.
Pinch to zoom in on fine detail, with ascender/descender guide lines like a real type specimen.
All 346 official Unicode blocks, filterable by name, each showing exactly how many characters it holds.
Pin the characters you use often and drag to reorder — synced instantly between the app and the keyboard.
Switch to Glyphboard from the globe key and insert characters directly into Reminders, Messages, or any app.
What's inside
Not just an emoji picker — a real reference for every category of the Unicode standard.
Every individually-named Unicode character, plus algorithmic ranges like CJK, Hangul, and Tangut, ranked so the best match comes first.
From Basic Latin to Egyptian Hieroglyphs, filterable by name when you already know roughly where to look.
The characters you reach for most, one tap away — kept in sync between the app and the keyboard automatically.
Pinch-zoom any glyph to see its real shape at any size, with ascender/descender guide lines.
Every character comes with its HTML entity, CSS escape, JavaScript escape, Swift string literal, and raw UTF-8 bytes — tap to copy.
Find or copy any character by name, hands-free, or drop it into your own Shortcuts automations.
No account, no analytics, no network access at all. The keyboard never asks for “Full Access” because it doesn't need it.
For developers
Stop looking up escape codes. Every character's detail view has them all, ready to copy.

Questions
No. Favorites and Recents sync between the app and the keyboard through a shared App Group, not through Full Access — so the keyboard never asks for it.
No. There's no account, no analytics, and no network access at all. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Search covers every individually-named Unicode character (~40,000) plus a curated set of common aliases (like “smiley”). If a character has an unusual official name, try browsing its Unicode block instead of searching by name.
Yes — Glyphboard is a universal app, and the keyboard extension works the same way on iPad as it does on iPhone.
Glyphboard is a single paid-upfront purchase with nothing gated behind in-app purchases — every feature is included.
