Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Blue Alphant is a reference tool for developers, designers, and anyone interested in using Unicode for any reason. Blue Alphant not only functions as an easy-to-use, highly visual Unicode Character Entity Reference Chart, but also allows you to quickly verify which characters are supported by the installed fonts on your desktop, tablet, or mobile device.

Blue Alphant allows you find the general type of character you want in the menu, filter through the related characters to narrow down the search, and visually scan through the remaining characters to find exactly what you need. Each character tile includes the name of the character and its codepoint, which you can use to convert to HTML, Java, and C++ friendly codes.

User reviews

As you get older, things start to leak from your fading memory -- like Unicode values.... Hurrah for someone actually devising a good-looking, and easy, way to search for them, in Chrome. My day has officially been made! Thank you, Sheila!
