Sergey let me know that Fancy Characters has been updated to version 4.0. If you're not familiar with the app, it easily lets you add characters from your BlackBerry to your emails, BBM and more.

- Added few missing flags and fixed existing codes.
- Reworked flags list to include countries names.
- Flags list can be filtered quickly by typing country name for fast access.
- OS 6 and Blackberry Torch compatibility.
- Transparent smiles background on OS 6 and latest BBM.
