I usually use this tool <a href="http://leftlogic.com/projects/entity-lookup/" rel="nofollow">http://leftlogic.com/projects/entity-lookup/</a> when I need to look for special unicode character. You type your query like "arrow" and you get a display of what <i>looks</i> like an arrow. Really handy.
Nice.<p>I wonder, what's with the parenthesized stuff in "Circled"? Why do the Unicode people think we need individual characters representing "(1)", "1." "(a)", etc.?<p>By the way, there is a little bug somewhere. I somehow got it into a mode where it would not show me the characters starting at #100. If I clicked ASCII (to get #0) and moved the X100 slider one step to the right, then I got #9100. But sometimes it works.
This is very helpful. I would suggest two improvments:<p>1) If you move a slider bar, it resets the lower-valued slider bars. I don't know if this is intended behavior, but to get to the 8100's, I moved the hundred's bar, then the thousands. But this sequence reset the hundreds to 0, which required me to re-move the hundreds slider bar.<p>2) Is there a way to have the symbols in each cell as images? Because if I don't have a font install with a particular symbol, those cells display the dreaded empty rectangle.
That looks like it could be useful, but it has two flaws. One is that you can't copy and paste the escape sequences and the other is that it's difficult to find, say, the Russian alphabet if you don't know its numeric range.
Awesome. I use Unicode symbols as a shortcut/prototype for icons. I always look them up in wikipedia, which is painful. This makes my life easier. Thank you!
