Earns its place in the Blender Extensions library by putting Unicode categories a click away across three editors, with separate copy and insert modes. Rated 5.0 from two reviews.
B Unicode adds Unicode character access to three Blender editors: the Text Editor, the Video Sequence Editor (VSE), and the 3D Viewport, all reachable from a Unicode menu. It spans a range of categories, from symbols and emojis to mathematical operators and currency symbols.
Characters appear in a grid display for browsing and selection. Two modes cover how they get used: Copy Mode sends a character to your clipboard with a single click, while Insert Mode places characters into text blocks, VSE text strips, or 3D text objects. Typical uses include adding symbols and emojis to VSE text strips, giving 3D text objects special characters, and pulling up Unicode instantly while working in the Text Editor.
Built by Dinesh007, the add-on runs on Blender 5.1 and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It requires no special permissions and sits at rank 413 in the Blender Extensions library.
B Unicode is best for blender users who need to add symbols, emojis, or special characters to text in the Text Editor, VSE text strips, or 3D text objects.
B Unicode is completely free to download and use.
B Unicode supports Blender 5.1 and newer, so you'll need a build at or above that version to run it. The add-on is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and requires no special permissions to work. It's a compact download at around 40 KB, and the current release is version 1.1.1, published in December 2024. For the latest compatibility details, the developer's page at github.com/Dinesh0N is the place to check.
B Unicode adds a Unicode entry across three editors: the 3D Viewport, the Video Sequence Editor, and the Text Editor. From there you can browse characters in a grid display and select the one you want. This spread means you can reach the same character set whether you're editing in the Text Editor, working with text strips in the VSE, or building 3D text objects in the Viewport. The interface keeps characters organized so you can find and pick them quickly.
B Unicode offers two ways to use a character once you've picked it from the grid. Copy Mode sends the selected character to your clipboard with a single click, letting you paste it wherever you need. Insert Mode places characters directly into text blocks, VSE text strips, or 3D text objects. The categories on offer range from symbols and emojis to mathematical operators and currency symbols, so both modes work across the same broad character set.
B Unicode is listed as free here in the catalog, and it's distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. That license covers how you can use, modify, and share the add-on. For current licensing terms and any updates, the developer's page at github.com/Dinesh0N is the best reference. The add-on also requires no special permissions, so there's nothing extra to grant when you install it into Blender 5.1 or newer.
