Unipose
by aesh
Unipose lets Linux players type Unicode characters in Minecraft by entering a hex code, using the same composition method found in other Linux applications.
What it does
Typing characters that a keyboard layout does not offer, such as accented letters or symbols that need AltGr, is often awkward. Unipose brings the Linux Unicode composition method into Minecraft, so a player presses the usual Ctrl+Shift+U sequence, types the hex code of the character and confirms it. The author notes that this works for players who already know the sequence from their desktop and have memorized lookalike characters. The mod only changes text entry inside the game.
The author states that the mod is meant for Linux, and that the composition behavior is the same as in Linux applications. A Windows numpad method is also reported to work. Other operating systems are described as not useful with it, and the author notes it may not behave as expected in every case. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it, and it is published for Fabric alone, for 26.2 and 26.3. The current file is 1.0.1 for 26.3, released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, which makes it open source. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Linux-style composition
Characters are entered with Ctrl+Shift+U, then a hex code and confirmation, matching the Linux Unicode method.
Lookalike characters
Players can type visually similar characters by their code points when the keyboard layout does not provide them.
Numpad input
The author reports that a Windows numpad method also works for entering characters through the mod.
Planned additions
The author plans further input features and a configuration screen once there is more interest in the mod.

How it compares
Symbol Chat is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, published for Fabric across 1.18 – 26.3. Status Mod is server-side only and not open source, published for Fabric for 26.1.2 only. TextVoice is client-side only, not open source under the MIT License, and published for Fabric across 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, so its version range differs from Unipose's 26.2 – 26.3.

What the author says
So you know how you can do ctrl+shift+u in Linux to specify a UTF hex code? Very fun for troling the hell out of your programming buddies if you've memorized the lookalikesː I actually replaced two symbols with lookalikes, not just the colon. Pretty effective innit?
