Easy Unicode Input Firefox

Easy Unicode Input

Allows quick and easy use of Unicode characters

Features & Capabilities

Easy Unicode Input is a Chrome extension designed to simplify typing Unicode characters from the Basic Multilingual Plane (0000–FFFF). Many websites don't support entering special characters easily, but this tool lets you do so quickly by invoking a keyboard shortcut (Control + ') and typing the 4-digit hexadecimal code of the character you want. Once entered, the character is inserted directly at your text cursor position.

Note that the extension works seamlessly across most text fields except for input fields with the type="email" attribute, where it currently does not function properly. If you frequently need to input rare or multilingual characters, Easy Unicode Input provides a straightforward and efficient solution.

How to use this add-on: 1. You make sure your cursor is in a text input box inside the window – not the address bar or search bar. 2. You press and hold the Ctrl. key. 3. While Ctrl. key is pressed, you hit the apostrophe key ['] – not the backtick (grave accent) key [`] 4. You punch the keys corresponding to the Unicode of your character. Example. If you want to type "CO₂", you type: 1. [SHIFT+C] to input capital letter C 2. [SHIFT+O] to input capital letter O 3. [CTRL+'] to activate Unicode input 4. 2082 to input the Unicode of subscript two Note: this add-on does not work in the "Write a review" window or in YouTube comments (but it works in YouTube search field). The author seems to not care about the shortcomings of this add-on.

Is Easy Unicode Input Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Easy Unicode Input requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
