Show HN: One clean, developer-focused page for every Unicode symbol

https://fontgenerator.design/symbols

2•yarlinghe•2h ago

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](https://fontgenerator.design/symbol/almost-equal-to)

Includes Unicode, HTML, CSS, JS, UTF-8/16 bytes, URL encoding, and usage examples.

The same structure is used across thousands of symbols (math, arrows, currency, tech/UI, punctuation).

Built because existing references are fragmented. Feedback welcome.

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

I don't know how to find the ideal font for the missing glyph on my environment which is BSD.

Using the `unicode' command from plan9userspace, for example

   unicode 2ff0-2fff

the last three symbols are shown inside emacs as squares with the four hex values inside.

Typing in the search field `2fff' finds `no match found'.

I really like this. I appreciate the many "copy" buttons that make it easy to grab various font values once I find a character. Good job!
