Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Shapecatcher, a tool for drawing a Unicode character to find it. The one comment lists other Unicode reference sites, including character search and emoji tables, and does not judge the post.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Some other useful unicode websites: http://www.amp-what.com/ http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/index.htm (I've added the above as search engines in Chrome with short mnemonics for the keyword.) There's also: http://unicode.johnholtripley.co.uk/ -- mobile unicode support tables http://unicodinator.com/ http://apps.timwhitlock.info/emoji/tables/unicod…
