Unicode tools

Discover the range of tools that allow you to interact with Unicode

A number of tools exist through which you can explore the relationship between scripts, languages and characters, in particular the web-based resources developed by Richard Ishida.

You can also use applications directly in your computer. The Unicode Consortium has developed Unibook Character Browser as a resource for Windows; this also requires you to download and install related character property data.

An alternative application for Windows is BabelMap.

For macOS, UnicodeChecker is a utility that is comparable in scope.
