PopChar - Easily type umlauts and foreign characters -no need to learn keyboard combinations

Tired of searching and remembering keyboard combinations for umlauts and other special characters? Want to get the most out of your fonts? Then PopChar is the right tool for you.

PopChar could be described as a better, easier character map. It is a utility application that lets you insert characters from all installed fonts into your documents. You no longer need to search for and remember keystrokes to type special characters and umlauts. Just pop up the PopChar window, click the desired character, and the character appears in your current document.

If a font contains Unicode characters, you can check "Unicode" in the Settings menu to see all of them, neatly arranged in the standard Unicode categories.

Web designers will especially enjoy the ability to insert HTML symbols.
