Thanks for the HN love. This is actually one of my side projects. I'm a character and type geek and use this as a place to experiment and play with the data. Really glad to see other people find it interesting.<p>Let me know about anything that would make it more useful. I've kept it pretty minimal so it's easy to change things.<p>There are lots of little features that aren't immediately obvious, like user profiles: <a href="http://graphemica.com/people/alphabetum" rel="nofollow">http://graphemica.com/people/alphabetum</a> Also, cool stuff on the cjk characters, including definitions: <a href="http://graphemica.com/戰" rel="nofollow">http://graphemica.com/戰</a>

Nice. OS X has this built-in though. Other things I've noticed:<p>- The "no results found" bar overlaps the search box.<p>- Can't search by HTML entity<p>- Seems to be missing a few of the more exotic ones, e.g.:<p>💩 PILE OF POO Unicode: U+1F4A9 (U+D83D U+DCA9), UTF-8: F0 9F 92 A9

This is a bit off topic, but I copy-pasted some of the weird characters from the site to name.com, and I found that probably <i>all</i> .com combinations are taken.<p>I put cloud icon dot com, it's taken. I put 10 consecutive cloud icons dot com, also taken. I put many random characters dot com, also taken. What does it mean?

Nice site. I would use this more for Windows ALT key codes—I have a few like the em dash or ALT+0151 memorized—but maybe this isn't something you want to add.

could add some semantic markup or rdfa or something, could be cool
