#43My go-to site for Unicode symbols is graphemica.com. I like that you show very directly the different use cases, but miss different encodings and the ability to browse unicode sequentially.
+1 graphemica has the right mix of completeness and simplicity for my tastes.

#44Could use a list of (free) fonts that support the corresponding glyph.

#45How do I search for egyptian hieroglyphs? searching for "egyptian" neither for "hieroglyph" works
searching directly for 𓁤 also doesn't work

expanded button go over the side of the screen for me
pressing "V", which I'd assume meant "expand horizontal button queue into a vertical text list" instead collapses all descriptions and turns "v" into a hamburger button...

#48It's odd that searching for "section" finds U+2E39 (Top Half Section Sign) but not U+00A7 (Section Sign).
The directions for input on on each operating system are all the same, use an app? On Windows there's a key sequence based on the codepoint integer. It should tell you exactly what to type. The Linux one is especially odd "Use the Character Map app or a Compose key sequence, then paste into your app" because if there's a compose key sequence you don't need to paste it.

#49Cool! Ideas: At least do an ensemble approach by queuering llms to explain what the symbols "are". It's so auto generated now. Link to wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximation#Typography
Developers need to understand context too, not see a static page of "macOS: Use Character Viewer (Control + Command + Space) and search by name, or copy/paste."
The related to symbols make little sense. For example: https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/acute-angle Does not link to all other "angle" pages, but does to Aktieselskab?

#50Very cool and helpful - I'll be using this a lot!
Interesting I discovered two new-to-me temperature symbols (℃ and ℉), but couldn't find the Alt-0176 ° generic degree sign that shows up on the MS Character Map app. I also found the There Exists symbol ∃ !! I'd been seeking for years; it was so useful since finding out about it in college logic courses... This will be even more useful when the Alt-code fields are all filled in! Thanks!
