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.
No. Please just give me an option to reject all tracking cookies instead of just kicking me in the face with a done deal.
Whoever wrote this 'EU/UK users: this serves as our cookie notice' is ignorant of the actual law. Have a look at:
I don't need to be told on each one to "Click to Copy".
But nice concept.
I found it odd, that tapping on a square “highlights” it, by making it “pop,” but nothing else really happens.
It took me a bit to figure out that I need to actually select the arrow in the upper right corner, to get the page.
Oh well! Still good.
When I click the "Click to copy" my UI reflex tells me to look for a "Copied!" or similar acknowledgement. But I don't see one, so there's uncertainty if it was copied safely to my invisible clipboard or not.
Please keep making this, it's good! What inspired you for the design? I like this style, and notice it around, but can't pinpoint.
Please don't display text directly on the grid background image. It makes it impossible to read the text easily. Currently, this is the case when you open the page for a specific symbol in the 'Usage & Context' section.
Or better, if 90% of all symbol names are abbreviated, your design simply doesn't work. This is especially apparent in the "arrows" section.

Using the `unicode' command from plan9userspace, for example
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'.

The symbols search now supports code-point lookup, so you can search by:
U+2FFF
0x2FFF
plain hex (2fff, 4–6 digits)
This makes it possible to jump straight to a symbol page even when the glyph doesn’t render locally and you only have the code point (like the Emacs/BSD case you described).
One limitation to note: some symbols aren’t covered by common or default system fonts, so they may still appear as tofu boxes depending on the font stack. That’s a font coverage issue rather than Unicode itself.
Appreciate you calling this out — this was exactly the kind of workflow gap I wanted to catch.
