The Bottom Line

If you use a lot of unicode characters in your pages then this will be a great reference to have. But the lack of search makes it hard to use.

Pros

  • Color picker RGB sliders
  • Unicode by name, index, and group
  • Built-in scientific calculator

Cons

  • Opens to the calculator
  • No search
  • Hard to find specific characters

Description

  • Scientific calculator
  • Color picker converts RGB to hex
  • Unicode lists by name, index, and group

Guide Review - Developer's Tool Kit - iPhone App Review

I enjoy wading through all the unicode characters. It's fun learning the different glyphs I could be using on my pages. But without search it would take a while to find a specific character, even using the name index.

The color slider is rudimentary, but is good for a quick conversion. And the calculator could be used to add up widths in a CSS layout, but otherwise isn't particularly useful to Web design.
