Happy new year from China !!

One thing I’ve noticed building a small “use it and leave” tool is that the models tend to self-select into roles. For me, Codex ended up being the reliable executor for actual log…

24h update after the Show HN — quick recap. Based on the feedback here, I spent the last day tightening a few core things: - Navigation / mobile: tapping a card now opens the symbo…

Great example — thanks for the context. I added explicit linking for paired glyph parts (left/right halves) and reference links in Notes. This kind of symbol history is exactly the…

Good point. I added a Notes section and reworked “Related” to focus on things people actually get confused by (pairs, confusables, same block), not just category adjacency.

Agreed. Updated the HTML section to recommend writing the literal character + UTF-8 by default. Numeric refs/entities are now explicitly framed as legacy / edge-case references.

You’re right — the main index is curated. I added a /codepoint/… fallback so pasting a literal character or U+XXXX always lands you on a dev-friendly encoding page, even outside th…

Added a small “Font tips (if you see □)” section with system font notes and Noto suggestions. Also added a codepoint fallback page so you can still inspect encodings even when the …

Agreed — the small expand target was a mistake, especially on mobile. I switched to “tap card = open details” and moved copy into a dedicated, larger button. Much clearer now.

Noted. Fixed.

You’re right. The abbreviations (arrows in particular) made scanning worse than it should be. I’ve pushed a quick update: full names on hover/focus, plus a Compact / Readable toggl…

Yep — fully agree. For modern HTML/CSS/JS, you should just write the character and serve UTF-8. The entities / codes are there purely as reference for legacy cases, debugging, or w…

Yeah, mobile is rougher than desktop right now. Thanks for flagging it.

Good points. The hover hint could definitely do more useful work, and the repeated “Click to Copy” is probably overexplaining. UI polish still very much in progress

Purely cosmetic. In hindsight, probably unnecessary — but once you add color, it’s hard to stop

Fair point — you’re right to call this out. I’ve now removed Microsoft Clarity (no session recording/heatmaps), and GA4 is opt‑in with a real “Reject all” option (default off). Thi…

Thanks — glad the copy buttons are useful. That was exactly the goal.

Good catch — I just pushed an update based on this. The symbols search now supports code-point lookup, so you can search by: U+2FFF 0x2FFF plain hex (2fff, 4–6 digits) This makes i…

Planning to add more symbol-specific notes (confusables, common pitfalls, rendering quirks). Curious what details people usually look for but can’t find.

I’m building a Unicode reference where each symbol has its own dev-friendly page with all relevant encodings. Example: [ https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/almost-equal-to ]( http…
