- Tap a character to copy it. Characters you tap collect under Your characters.
- Copy collected to copy them all; Clear to start over.
Shortcuts worth knowing

Errors and how to fix them
- Shows as a box after pasting: the app’s font lacks that character; change the font or choose a common symbol.

Questions people ask
- Are my collected characters saved? They stay while the page is open; copy them to keep them.
- Where are Indian symbols? Search rupee, om or swastika, or open the Indian group.
