UCD PALETTE

A Windows application built with .NET MAUI that combines a character map with a font viewer.
This application allows developers, designers, and typographers to explore Unicode characters in detail and preview glyphs across installed and external fonts.


Features

  • Character Map

    • Browse and search characters by code point or text.
    • Display detailed information from the Unicode Character Database (UCD).
    • View properties such as name, block, category, and more.
  • Font Viewer

    • Supports both installed system fonts and external fonts.
    • Preview glyphs by typing text directly.
    • Check rendering differences between fonts.
  • Interactive Input

    • Enter characters to see how they are displayed in selected fonts.
    • Useful for testing multilingual text, symbols, and special characters.

Use Cases

  • Inspect Unicode properties for development or localization.
  • Compare glyph rendering across fonts.
  • Explore symbols, emojis, and multilingual text support.

Notes

  • On the first launch, the application may take a little longer to display the initial screen.
    This is normal and only happens once.
    (For developers: this delay occurs because the application is packaged as a single executable.)
