+## Features
+
+- **Fuzzy Search**: Find characters by name, codepoint, or keywords.
+- **Direct Insert**: Insert characters directly into your editor.
+- **Favorites & Hotkeys**: Mark frequently used characters as favorites and assign custom hotkeys for quick insertion.
+- **Persistent Filters**: Configure and save filters for planes, categories, and custom sets to refine your searches.
+- **Usage Statistics**: Quickly access frequently used symbols.
+- **Configurable**: All settings are managed within Obsidian's settings pane.
+
+## Using the Plugin
+
+To begin using the plugin, launch the search by executing the **Search Unicode characters** command. For more convenient access, consider assigning a hotkey:
+
+- Navigate to **Settings → Hotkeys**.
+- Find **Search Unicode characters** and assign your preferred hotkey (e.g., `Ctrl+Shift+O`).
+
+### Searching for Characters
+
+Once the search modal is open, you can find characters by typing your query. This can be a descriptive term like `arrow` or `heart`, or a specific codepoint such as `269`.
+
+- Use the `↑` and `↓` arrow keys to navigate through the search results.
+- Press `Enter` to insert the selected character directly into your document.
+
+### Managing Favorites
+
+You can manage your favorite characters from the search modal by adding them in the plugin settings.
+
+- View and manage all your favorites in **Settings → Unicode Search → Favorites**.
+- Assign a hotkey to any favorite character via the plugin's settings tab. This creates a new command, "Insert '\'", which can then have a hotkey assigned under **Settings → Hotkeys → Insert '\'**.
+
+### Filtering Characters
+
+Character filters help you refine which characters appear in your search results. These are configured in **Settings → Unicode Search**.
+
+- Toggle filters for various Unicode planes and categories.
+- Define custom filters to tailor the search to your needs.
+- Be aware that a default set of filters is active. If you're unable to find a specific character, it might be excluded by the current filter settings.
+ - Search for your character to find out it's plane/block/category, if it's missing here:
