The addon provides a simple, keyboard-oriented way to search for and input characters from the raw Unicode Character Database by their official names (such as "SURFACE INTEGRAL"), code blocks (e.g. "Math_Operators") and general character categories ("Sm", i.e. Symbol, Math).

Additionally it can directly substitute a small subset of latex syntax with equivalent unicode character sequences while you type.

Note that this is not a specialized emoji input, while it is easy to enter the basic emoji there currently is no special support for the composite sequences.

Extension safety

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.

Unicode Keyboard requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
