Character map in Windows 11

Character map window is not sizeable and too small to display Alt+ combinations.
I have never experienced it in earlier windows versions.

  • In Windows 11, the Character Map is indeed less resizable compared to earlier versions, which can make it difficult to view all the Alt+ combinations clearly. This change can be frustrating, especially if you're used to a larger, more flexible window for character selection. You might consider using the " emoji panel" by pressing Win + . (Windows key + period) as a temporary alternative, or searching for third-party character map tools that offer more user-friendly interfaces.

      Thanks for your reply.

      I already use emoji panel.

      But I think it should be no problem for Windows developers to solve this issue.
