    Bug fix request: On the webpage (https://shapecatcher.com/unicodefonts.html) - the download links for the fonts is broken. Perhaps fix? Also, does it make sense to combine the OTF files into a single file that shows the match you make instead of having it broken down into multiple files?

      This looks great! The Detexify web app [1] does something similar for LaTeX notation and has been incredibly helpful. Looking forward to using Shapecatcher!

        This reminds me of Detexify for LaTeX. Very cool! Worked well with the one symbol I tried :)

          This has been around forever, right? I seem to remember using it like 15 years ago.

            It worked for zero of the Hangul characters I tried, either from the syllables set or the Jamo composition block.

            My Korean handwriting leaves a lot to be desired, especially on the phone, but it did suggest several similar katakana, so I'm surprised by the omission

              It says this:

              > Currently, there are 11817 unicode character glyphs in the database. Japanese, Korean and Chinese characters are currently not supported.

                well does also not work for most of the ones I tried without those. Do you get “pi” to work?

              • bmalum 2 hours ago

                try the pi π - does also not work. Far off tbh

                very approximate...
