PopChar works with all modern applications that support Unicode. It makes it easy to navigate and search within fonts that contain thousands of characters.

PopChar makes all these font-related tasks easy.
With PopChar, you can also take a look at fonts from a designer's perspective – see a font preview, check out what a given text fragment looks like in a certain font, and print beautiful font sheets.

In Dark Mode, you even have the choice to see PopChar's character table in a traditional black-on-white view as on paper or a light-on-dark view that blends perfectly with the dark appearance. Since this is a matter of taste, the preferred style can be changed in PopChar's preferences.
