Gus Rizzuto (ID: 00000010f0bf48db) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/27/2024 finally a simple unicode table, i have no complaints.

Léa Lacroix (ID: 0000006e8c5dfb7a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/15/2022 It works, but there's one crucial feature missing - I wish it could remember the characters I recently used/use the most often, and show them first as soon as I click on the extension. Without this, I find it quite annoying to look through the menu to find my characters (which are always the same 3-5 ones).

Alystr Zelland (ID: 000000e9fdf3aba8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/23/2022 I just needed a faster means to get accented characters. So far so good! Clean and simple. I'll update with any issues, but for now it's batting 1000, so 5/5. Thanks, y'all! Very helpful as a Writing Specialist.
