#53Couldn't get it to find the unicode snowman[1]: http://i.imgur.com/gaIY9Gd.png (my drawing skills are awesome, no?) But that aside, this looks like a neat idea. Not something I have any immediate use for myself, but could certainly be useful in some situations. [1] http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2603/index.htm
I can't get it to recognize 'Pile of Poo' (U+1F4A9) Major bug.
Re: Shapecatcher: Draw the Unicode character you want
#54Trying to draw U+1F4A9 (Pile of Poo). After several attempts, no luck. I have learnt that Unicode contains even more weirdness than I thought before though, including 'Alchemical symbol for borax-3' (U+1f744), and 'doughnut' (U+1f369).

#58Doesn't seem to include the drawing stroke order or anything, just the ultimate image. I guess if you know the strokes, you know the letter already, hm.
However how would stroke order work for a Unicode codepoint? If it exists, there has to be a lot of info in addition to the codepoint of, say, a kanji.
