Needed: easy program for inserting symbols and Unicode characters On MacOS 10.11 I am constantly going to the Emoji &amp; Symbol viewer to bring in arrows and other kinds of symbols:



Problems with this interface include:


It it bound to the current program, rather than operating system level. So you need to make the window appear for each application you use.
It doesn't allow searching by Unichar
It doesn't let you see the entire character set


I'm looking for a program that keeps my favorite symbols all in one place in a floating window and lets me easily insert them into the current application. Does such a program exist?
