PopChar is a program that inserts special characters into text. I recall becoming tired of having to input symbols like © or §, but they weren’t on my keyboard, so it’s logical—where would they come from? This tool can help by providing access to a large list of special characters in any text editor.
The version is not free, and activation costs money. You can support the author on the website or get PopChar for free from us. The archive contains a registration key or crack.
Installation takes only a few minutes, and the interface is simple, with well-organized buttons and drop-down choices, as well as a window that displays all possible characters at a glance. There is no assistance, but it is not an issue; everything is evident.
From the drop-down menu, you can choose what to view. Unicode blocks, scripts, symbols, the ASCII table, a list of frequently used icons, and so on. You can change the font manually or have it selected automatically based on the document.
A slider is used to modify the size of the symbols. If you already know what you’re looking for, you can search by name. You can save desired icons as favorites to prevent having to search for them again. Hot keys are supported.
It has little effect on computer performance and requires very few resources.
Pros:
- a huge database of Unicode symbols and special characters
- works in any application, not just text editors
- low system load
- convenient favorites and hot keys
Responses to frequently requested questions:
Does PopChar work with programs other than text editors?
Of course, the window opens on top of any application, and the symbol appears directly under the cursor.
Can I personalize my list of often-used symbols?
Yes, there is a Favorites section where you can add any icons you need.
