Unibook Character Browser

The Unibook Character browser is a small utility for offline viewing of the character charts and character properties for The Unicode Standard. It can also be used to cut&paste character codes. The utility was derived from the program used to print the character code charts for the Unicode Standard and ISO/IEC 10646.

This utility is available free of charge for downloading from this site. The Unicode Consortium is not able to provide technical support to users of this software. However, you may provide feedback and suggest improvements by e-mail to unibook@unicode.org. This information will be used to develop future updates.

After downloading the selected version, please expand the zip file to a clean folder and follow the instructions in the readme.txt file.
