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.
Arabic completely unreadable
Letters disconnected, RTL ignored, words reversed. Native speakers cannot read the text at all. No emoji support out of the box.
Arabic letters connect, but BiDi is broken
The plugin handles basic Arabic shaping — letters connect into words correctly. But there's no real BiDi algorithm. With embedded numbers, English words, or punctuation (chat, dialogue, prices, dates) the visual order is wrong — native readers struggle. On some inputs the plugin doesn't activate at all and falls back to the exact same broken output as TextMeshPro. Emoji don't work either way.
Everything works correctly
Full Unicode BiDi algorithm. Mixed scripts in correct order. Color emoji including complex ZWJ sequences. Production-ready out of the box.
Real Unity Editor screenshots — same text, same font, same scene
Built for Real Game Scenarios
If any of these sound familiar, UniText is your solution.
Dialogue Systems
Rich text with bold, italic, colors — in any language. Arabic dialogues read right-to-left. Hindi vowels connect properly. Emoji reactions just work.
Game Localization
Localizing to Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, or Bengali? UniText is the only Unity text solution that renders these scripts correctly.
3D Floating Text
Damage numbers, name plates, world signs — rendered via MeshRenderer. No Canvas overhead. Full Unicode support in 3D space.
Player-Generated Content
Chat messages, player names, custom text — any Unicode input, including complex emoji sequences, rendered correctly.
Performance-Critical Games
Mobile, VR, large worlds — zero garbage collection means no stuttering, even with hundreds of text objects.
Rich Text & Markdown
Use familiar **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~ syntax directly in Unity. Perfect for dialogue systems, tutorials, and in-game text.
Everything You Need
Built on the same technologies used by Chrome, Firefox, Adobe, and Android.
Every Writing System
Every script on Earth — tested and passed. 891,757 official Unicode conformance tests, zero failures. From Arabic to Tibetan.
Variable Fonts
One font file, infinite variations. Smoothly animate weight, width, slant — in real time. One font replaces your entire font family.
100 UniText + 100 TextMeshPro instances animating Font Size simultaneously. They're stacked at the same position, so all 200 look like a single block.
Multi-Core Processing
Text layout runs across all CPU cores. 100, 500, 1000 text objects — performance scales linearly.
Full Color Emoji
Families 👨👩👧👦, flags 🇬🇪, skin tones 👋🏻👋🏿 — all correct. Uses device fonts: zero impact on build size, always up-to-date.
Outline & Shadow
Rich text effects via simple tags. Customizable color, thickness, offset, and softness — all GPU-accelerated.
3D World Text
Text in 3D space via MeshRenderer — no Canvas required. Full feature parity: every language, every emoji, every effect — in world space.
Custom modifier creation in 10 lines of C#
Modular Architecture
Plug & play modifier system. Add only what you need. Create custom text effects in minutes with a simple C# API.
Smart Word Breaking
Thai, Lao, and other SE Asian scripts don't use spaces between words. UniText knows where to break lines — correctly, every time.
100% Unicode Conformance
We pass every single official Unicode test. No exceptions.
Benchmark Comparison
Real benchmarks on Android production build.
Speed Comparison
Memory & GC

Glyph Rendering
Adding glyphs to texture atlas
Smaller Builds and Bundles
Font compression keeps your shipped game tiny
Sub-millisecond decompression at runtime — players won't notice.
All Platforms Supported
Native HarfBuzz and FreeType libraries compiled for every major platform and architecture.
