PopChar 3 is a Universal Binary and runs natively on PowerPC and Intel-based Macs. The PopChar character table now appears in a window that 'floats' above all other windows and can be placed anywhere on the screen. As an alternative to the well-known 'P box' in the top-left corner of the screen, PopChar can now be configured to include a 'status item' icon in the right-hand portion of the menu bar. If the space in the menu bar gets tight, the status item may disappear. PopChar detects this situation and then temporarily switches back to the 'corner P'. Instead of a font menu with hundreds of fonts, PopChar now features a font list in a separate drawer that can be opened on demand. The most recently used fonts appear in a shortened pop-up menu in the PopChar window.

PopChar now supports font styles. The font list contains the font families only; if a family has multiple members (such as bold or italic variants), they can be selected from a popup menu in the font list drawer. Unicode characters can be arranged as Unicode blocks or as collections of scripts and symbols. There is a new Recent Characters view that displays recently used characters from the current font. The groups in the Unicode table can be collapsed. PopChar remembers the state of the groups across fonts and restarts. If you do not need Cyrillic letters, collapsing the Cyrillic groups gives you a better overview of the other characters.

This even works for 'full Unicode layouts' that are capable to generate all characters from the Unicode plane 0. PopChar now comes with three separate insertion modes: plain, formatted (with choice of font size) and HTML.

These possibilities have already existed in previous versions, but they are now more consistent. Beside that, every character can now be inserted as HTML. HTML characters can be inserted by their names or numerically. Fine-grained preferences options give you better control whether the PopChar window should remain permanently open or automatically close on certain actions. It is now possible to specify the desired display size of characters; in ASCII view, an additional option specifies whether the characters should be scaled to fit the window. Activation is now also possible via a menu status item. PopChar 3 can show all Unicode characters available in fonts even characters beyond the first Unicode plane.

Improved transfer of characters to the current application results in improved compatibility with more applications. Improved automatic font detection (now available via the 'As in Document' menu command) with better support for exotic applications. Improved feedback when automatic font detection succeeds or fails.

The registration process has been streamlined and simplified. The documentation is now available in English, German, and French. Earlier versions of PopChar sometimes lost preference settings (including the license key). In some fonts, wrong characters were inserted in non-Unicode applications. Conversely, characters from certain fonts (most notably the Wingdings family) could not be correctly inserted in Unicode-aware applications. Previous versions did not include certain fonts for foreign languages (in particular, Hebrew and Arabic fonts).

Since PopChar 3 is no longer limited to the fonts available to Carbon applications, it now displays all installed fonts. PopChar now works with CopyPaste installed. PopChar 3 now requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or newer.

PopChar 3 no longer supports Classic applications. Automatic font detection in Word, Excel, Illustrator, InDesign and BBEdit.
