Spread the word! Also both praise and criticism are very welcome! Do you support Latex characters? Feel free to inform me by e-mail about it. If you get a 'Bad Gateway' error, the recognition engine can't be reached or is currently offline. I have tested the site succesfully with Firefox 6 and recent versions of Chrome, Opera, Safari. The drawing box relies on HTML5 features, so you need a newer browser. For more details, go to GlyphSearch website. Drop me an e-mail if you think that the results are particularly disappointing. you can filter by icon pack if you wish, and clicking one of the results will copy its class to clipboard. I do have plans to include it, but sadly I'm currently not having much time to improve Shapecatcher.Īlternatively, shapecatcher might not perform well on your character. The CJK font they include seems to be excellent, too.

Google recently created Noto, which aims to offer free high-quality typefaces for all languages with a very permissive license (Apache 2.0). If you can't find Chinese, Japanese or Korean glyphs, it is because I have yet to find a good free CJK font to use. See the Unicode list if you want to know which Unicode blocks are currently supported. The algorithms behind the character recognition could handle many more characters, so I hope to extend the database in the near future. For the time being, I only use glyphs from free Unicode fonts to avoid licensing problems. It might simply not be in the database yet. If you want to clear the canvas and the results click on 'Clear'. Draw as many strokes as you need to, then click 'Recognize' to start the recognition. You can do this by clicking and holding the left mouse button and moving around. On, all you need to know is the shape of the character! How do I use it?ĭraw your character as best you can in the 'drawbox'. Finding a specific character whose name you don't know is cumbersome. This is a tool to help you find Unicode characters.
