Description
UniText — First & Only Text Engine for Unity
Every language. Every emoji. Every style. UniText replaces TextMeshPro with a complete text solution that just works — out of the box, with zero configuration.
If your game has Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, or Bengali-speaking players, TextMeshPro is showing them broken text. These aren’t edge cases — they’re a quarter of the world’s population. Stop fighting with broken Arabic, missing emoji, and RTL bugs. UniText handles it all.
See the difference (same text, same font, same scene):
• TextMeshPro — Broken. Arabic letters disconnected, words reversed, native readers cannot read at all. No emoji.
• RTLTMPro plugin — Partial. Letters connect, but the order breaks when Arabic mixes with numbers or English. Chat, prices, dates render wrong. On many inputs the plugin doesn’t kick in and falls back to the same broken output as TextMeshPro. Emoji still don’t work.
• UniText — Perfect. Full Unicode BiDi algorithm. Mixed scripts in correct order. Color emoji including complex sequences like 👨👩👧👦. Production-ready out of the box.
Key features:
🌐 Every writing system — every script on Earth, tested and passed. From Arabic to Tibetan, from Devanagari to Khmer. 150+ languages with automatic font fallback.
😀 Full color emoji — families 👨👩👧👦, flags 🇬🇪, skin tones 👋🏻👋🏿 — all correct. Uses device fonts: zero impact on build size, always up-to-date with the OS.
🎨 Variable fonts — one file, every variation. Pick any weight from Thin to Black, any width, any slant — not just preset steps. Smaller builds than shipping ten separate files. Animate the axes too, if you want.
Font families — define Regular, Bold, Italic, Black once in the inspector. Write <b> or <i> and UniText picks the right file automatically. No more swapping FontAssets.
Outline & shadow — rich text effects via simple tags. Customizable color, thickness, offset, softness — all GPU-accelerated.
Markdown out of the box — use familiar **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~ syntax directly in Unity. Perfect for dialogue, tutorials, in-game text.
🌍 3D world text — text in 3D space via MeshRenderer, no Canvas required. Every language, every emoji, every effect works in world space.
🇹🇭 Smart word breaking — Thai, Lao, Khmer, Myanmar don’t use spaces between words. UniText knows where to break lines — correctly, every time.
Modular architecture — plug & play modifier system. Add only what you need. Create custom text effects in minutes with a simple C# API.
Multi-core processing — text layout runs across all CPU cores. 100, 500, 1000 text objects — performance scales linearly. Profiler memory line stays flat.
Smaller builds — font compression keeps your shipped game tiny. 12 MB font becomes 4.4 MB. Sub-millisecond decompression at runtime — players won’t notice.
Tested where it matters:
891,757 official Unicode conformance tests. Zero failures. Every script on Earth — from Arabic to Tibetan, from Devanagari to Khmer. Unicode 17.0, the latest standard.
Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, WebGL.
Unity: 2021 LTS or newer.
Coming soon:
• Input Field — full-featured text input with bidirectional cursor, selection, and IME support
• Math typesetting — LaTeX-style equations
• 3D volumetric text
• Huge Variety of Animation Styles
Important:
• UniText is a standalone text engine built from scratch. It does not depend on or extend TextMeshPro.
• Built on the same shaping engine as Chrome, Firefox, Adobe InDesign, and Android (HarfBuzz + FreeType).
Technical details
Technical Features
• Full Unicode 17.0 support — passes all 891,757 conformance tests.

• SDF & MSDF rendering from raw Bézier curves via Burst-compiled jobs. No pre-baked atlases.
• Global shared Texture2DArray atlas with adaptive tile sizes (64/128/256), shelf-based packing, reference counting, and LRU eviction.
• Font Families with CSS §5.2 weight matching. Three-tier resolution: variable font axes → static faces → synthesis.
• Variable font support — wght, wdth, ital, slnt, opsz axes controllable per-character.
• Multi-pass effects — outline and shadow with color, dilate, offset, softness. Works in Canvas and World.
• 30+ built-in markup modifiers — bold, italic, color, size, font, outline, shadow, gradient, link, and more.

• UniTextWorld — 3D text via MeshRenderer without Canvas. Full Unicode/BiDi/shaping/effects pipeline.
• Interactive text — clickable and hoverable regions with typed events and highlight system.
• Zstd font compression — ~2.7x smaller for Latin/Arabic, ~1.3x for CJK.
• Zero GC allocations at runtime — custom pooling with 95%+ hit rate.
• Multi-threaded parallel text processing.
• Editor tools — style selector with ~30 presets, font family inspector, glyph picker with live preview, atlas preview tabs.
• C# API for full runtime control.
Supported Platforms
