Shapecatcher: Draw the Unicode character you want
81–90 of 115 posts
Does anyone know if the mirror image of this character: “ (U+201C) exists? I'm looking for a character that is the mirror image of the left double quotation mark, where the base is on the bottom and the character tapers from bottom right to top left. I don't know if any languages use that character.

You can rate the recognition results ;)

#85Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, I tested pasting "🍤" to my OSX, and was surprised by a color rendering of a friend shrimp. (yes, you can copy the character between "" and paste in your OSX terminal)
Shame this doesn't work in zsh.
Why wouldn't it work on zsh? The font face is a property of the terminal emulator (e.g. xterm, Terminal.app), not the shell.

Also it seems to fail on badly-drawn birds http://i.imgur.com/IZgrRkq.png
