Unicodify – Text transformer von rugk, Teal Dulcet

This is a (Firefox and Thunderbird) add-on (WebExtension) that allows you to autocorrect common text sequences and convert text characters to a look like a special font.
For instance, it converts quotes like "these" to “these”, which are typographically correct.
Additionally, you can convert text into more than 20 different font styles and casing changes.
You can enable and disable any features in the options and adjust more settings regarding the behavior of the add-on.


😊 Convert text to any style you want! 😊

Just select text, right-click and let Unicodify convert the text into styles like:

• Lowercase
• Uppercase
• Capitalize Each Word
• Toggle Case
• Superscript
• Small Caps
• Unicase
• Serif
• Sans-serif
• Bold
• Italic
• Script
• Fraktur
• Monospace
• Double-struck
• Circled
• Squared
• Fullwidth

This is useful on websites that do not support changing the font or text formatting.


✍️ Improve your typographic style! ✍️

When writing on any website, this add-on optionally corrects your writing by using proper quotation marks or common symbols like arrows, fractions or mathematical signs.

Some examples:

• ... is corrected into …
• ~= is corrected into ≅
• +- is corrected into ±
• -+ is corrected into ∓
• >= is corrected into ≥
• 1/4 is corrected into ¼
• --> is corrected into ⟶
• <==> is corrected into ⟺
• and much more…

ℹ️ The Unicode autocorrection feature is experimental and must be enabled in the settings.
