## Description

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.
