Need a symbol rescue?
Here are the fastest ways to get Glyphs working well on iPhone and iPad.
Install the Glyphs keyboard
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to General, then Keyboard, then Keyboards.
- Choose Add New Keyboard and select Glyphs.
- Open any text field and switch keyboards when you want to type a saved symbol.
Find and copy a character
Use Browse to search Unicode symbols and special characters by name, category, keyword, or code point. Open a symbol to copy the character, name, or Unicode value.
Use favorites
Add symbols to Favorites when you want them available quickly in the app and keyboard. This is useful for arrows, math signs, currency symbols, hearts, punctuation, and scripts you use often.
Use Draw
Open Draw, sketch the symbol shape, and choose Find matches. Glyphs will show close matches so you can copy the right character with context. Matching requires Glyphs Pro; you can try the drawing canvas for free.
Copy a Compose preview
In Compose, enter your text and choose a style. Tap anywhere on a colored preview to copy the result. A checkmark appears for two seconds, then the copy icon returns. Some styles require Glyphs Pro. Appearance can vary in the app where you paste.
Choose your appearance
Open Glyphs Settings and choose Appearance. Select Light, Dark, or System to follow your device. Glyphs starts in Dark and remembers your choice. Colorful categories keep their colors in either appearance.
Add a Home Screen widget
Touch and hold your Home Screen, choose Edit, then Add Widget, and search for Glyphs. Add a size that suits you. Touch and hold the widget and choose Edit Widget to select its collection. Tap a character to open it in Glyphs.
Use iCloud Sync
With Glyphs Pro, turn on iCloud Sync in Settings when you want supported preferences, favorites, and recent symbols to stay in sync across devices signed in to the same Apple Account.
