This extension provides an easy-access Unicode keyboard to make it easier to create your own Unicode emoticons.
Unicode Keyboard Extension
HOW TO USE THE SAVE FEATURE:
To add an emoticon to your list of saved emoticons, click the 'Save Emoticon' button (NOTE: This does not actually store them), then to store all of your saved emoticons for future use, click the 'Store Emoticons' button. *PLEASE READ* You can not save emoticons with spaces in them, e.g. you can't save this: ( o_o), but you can save this: (o_o)
Whenever you use Unicode Keyboard, make sure you click the 'Load Emoticons' button before saving anymore custom emoticons, otherwise it will overwrite your previously saved emoticons. It's a bit of a pain, I know, but I haven't found another way yet.
Ever seen people type those more detailed smiley faces and the table-flip meme with those strange characters and wanted to be able to easily make your own? This extension provides a simple, easy-to-use way of creating your own Unicode emoticons which you can then simply copy-and-paste into your post, allowing for more detailed expressions in your text!
What's New:
- You can now save custom emoticons and then load them as custom buttons the next time you use the plugin!
- Fixed the question mark buttons (removed them as they were also playing up for me as well)
Features:
- 38 unique Unicode characters
- Completely customisable typing
- Copy to clipboard button
- Customisable font size
- Resizable text area
If you enjoy this app, it would be greatly appreciated if you could take the time to rate it!
