If you then type something after the colon,<br \/>\nyou can search for symbols that match with what you type.<br \/>\nFor example, if you type `:cro` it will suggest a crown, crocodile, croissant, cross and crossed flags.<br \/>\nYou can press <kbd>\u21e5 Tab<\/kbd> to insert the first suggestion. If you press <kbd>\u2191<\/kbd>, you can then select one<br \/>\nwith the arrow keys <kbd>\u2190<\/kbd> and <kbd>\u2192<\/kbd>.<br \/>\nTo insert the selected symbol, press <kbd>\u21e5 Tab<\/kbd> or <kbd>\u23ce Enter<\/kbd>. <\/p>\n<p>![Symbol menu](https:\/\/github.com\/replaceitem\/symbol-chat\/raw\/master\/images\/suggestion.png)<\/p>\n<p>If you just enter a colon without entering anything after, it will show the first couple favorited symbols for quick access.<\/p>\n<p>## Fonts<\/p>\n<p>On the top right of supported screens, you can choose between many different fonts.<br \/>\nYou can select a font on the dropdown on the top right.<br \/>\nThis will change the text you type to that font.<br \/>\nFonts make use of unicode characters to produce a more interesting looking text.<br \/>\nThese are also supported on clients without symbol-chat and can be seen by everyone.<\/p>\n<p>![Fonts](https:\/\/github.com\/replaceitem\/symbol-chat\/raw\/master\/images\/fonts.png)<\/p>\n<p>## Config<\/p>\n<p>Some aspects of this mod are configurable using the builtin configuration menu.<br \/>\nThe configuration screen is accessible through the gear button on the top of the chat screen, as well as the ModMenu config button.<\/p>\n<p>The config allows you to change the appearance and behavior of the symbol-chat HUD.<br \/>\nYou can also add custom symbols not present in the tabs by adding them to the &#8220;Favorite symbols&#8221; text box.<br \/>\nThere is also support for adding custom kaomojis.<\/p>\n<p>![Config](https:\/\/github.com\/replaceitem\/symbol-chat\/raw\/master\/images\/config.png)<\/p>\n<p>## Unicode table<\/p>\n<p>As an advanced feature, you can access a unicode table through the `\u28ff\u28ff` button next to the config buton.<br \/>\nThis allows you to browse all unicode pages with the minecraft font to find new symbols.<br \/>\nYou can also search symbols and directly add them to your favorites or copy them to the clipboard.<\/p>\n<p>![Unicode table](https:\/\/github.com\/replaceitem\/symbol-chat\/raw\/master\/images\/unicode.png)<\/p>\n<p>## Fully customizable<\/p>\n<p>The symbol tabs and the symbol fonts can be fully customized and expanded using resource packs. For more information, visit the Wiki.<\/p>\n<p>## Compatible projects<\/p>\n<p>* The Pixel Twemoji 9x and<br \/>\nPixel Twemoji 18x resource packs can be used to get nicer looking<br \/>\nemojis than minecraft&#8217;s.
