Jul 29, 2017 at 15:52 comment added Tom Gewecke @WGroleau you click on the small icon in the top right corner. Character Viewer can do any 5 digit codepoint via the Unicode category at the left of the expanded version or via the search box.
Jul 29, 2017 at 15:49 comment added WGroleau How does one switch between large and small versions? Having frequently used on top would be perfect! Especially since I didn't ask how to do emoji; I asked how to do any five-digit codepoint.
Jul 29, 2017 at 15:46 comment added Tom Gewecke @WGroleau Yes, just going to the Emoji/Flags section of the Character Viewer is so much easier than keyboard input. This can also be done via the keyboard alone if you have the small version of Character Viewer active.
Jul 29, 2017 at 15:41 comment added WGroleau Oops, it's an eight-digit code, not four. So I have to do sixteen digits. Bummer.

Jul 29, 2017 at 15:35 comment added WGroleau As stated in the question, I want to do FIVE-digit code points, which Unicode Hex Input will not do. I would prefer a keyboard method, but Character Viewer is better than nothing. On IOS, Emoji keyboard is an unwieldy abomination. It does have the flags on it, but I don't think it has any code points that are not images. OK, I guess I should have read the comments, too on the other one. Weird to have Unicode specify five digits and not mention a four-digit code for the same thing. Not the most fun answer, but at least it's an answer.
