Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Customize your emails, documents and other texts with any kind of Unicode characters, ranging from alphabets, hieroglyphs, and mathematical symbols, to symbols, emojis, shapes, and many more! Simply tap a character to copy it to your device's clipboard, open any other app, and paste it anywhere you like. Done. Easy! 😉 - (U+1F609) Key Features: - Recents: View your recent copied characters to easily refer to - Favorites: View your favorite characters to pick from at anytime - Clipboard: A floating widget on screen to copy characters from Recents/Favorites on the go without needing to open the app - Text composer: A text box, in which you can write/paste as many characters as you want, and copy/share later on - Character Dialog: View any character's info such as Unicode/HTML codepoints, character name, character block, its Bold and/or Italic form, emoji skin tone, etc. - Supported Characters: View the readable characters that your device fonts support only, and hide all others ☞ Please Note: Not all characters will be readable on some Android devices especially the old ones running old Android versions due to the lack of some characters in the system fonts. If you copy any character and paste it anywhere else and it appeared as ߻ or �, this means that your device doesn't contain that character in the Android system fonts. Unfortunately, we as developers, can never fix it because we can't control how it is shown to you. By default, supported characters option is available for Android 6.0+ users. For Android 5.1.1 and below, the supported characters option is not available because it was not implemented in the old Android versions.

Character Pad - Symbols APK: questions and answers

Is there a version of Character Pad - Symbols for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 4.4 or later. Version 1.0.4 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 2.3 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 1.0.4 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is Character Pad - Symbols free?

The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

Is the Character Pad - Symbols APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store's check of the developer's signature failed. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 9740d884a7befa1ab0fd5989d972c679.
