For example, there is Material Notes which has a editor toolbar with bold, indented, stroke, etc. But this is rendered, exported to json or syntax like Markdown. This app too, in which i write this on lemmy, does the same. We have ☐, ☒, •, ‣ in Unicode, 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡, s̵t̵r̵o̵k̵e̵, so why not use this?

Basically, what i’m looking for is a text editor with toolbar/keystrokes for Android or Linux, which adds unicode symbols for rich text. It would make reading plain text notes/todo lists cross-device simpler. Yes, there’s UnicodePad and Charmap but that’s not the same.

edit: something where you mark a word, tap the B in the toolbar or press ctrl+b and it replaces the characters with uc bold characters, no? Tap the list button and it adds uc bullet points, etc…

    I doubt toolbars in a rich text editor specifically for Unicode symbols would be a thing, because…why?

    There’s definitely VScode extensions that would show the glyphs or convert the actual unicode hex to whatever it should be.

      I mean with rich text, text with bold, indent, etc., not a specific markup. On the contrary, i want to replace markup with native Unicode symbols.
