  • Have you guys found any more info/ any attempt at deciphering the Betty Hill alien language drawing?
    I'm not aware of any analysis. Some of the symbols look familiar to anyone with a keyboard, while others not so much. For fun, I took a stab at trying to match them to Unicode characters (using this website) and came up with some possible matches:. Source: 10 months ago
  • what are these characters in an old book? (1890s german blackletter/Fraktur, its about the inscription of a church bell)
    Https://shapecatcher.com/ cant seem to recognize it, but I would assume there is a Unicode version of it. My best guess is that its supposed to indicate that each part of the inscription is on a different side of the bell? Source: 11 months ago
  • ARRRT 448 LAB ⬭⬭2 GRᗩP⧦IC DES⏹GN FOR ACCESSIBILITY
    Thank you! I used https://shapecatcher.com. Disappointingly couldn't find any good characters for the stretched R, 8 or D. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Is there an ASCII code for the medical symbols for WITH and WITHOUT (a c with a line/dash over it, an s with a line/dash over it).
    Https://shapecatcher.com is a good way to find this kind of thing, if it exists. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Not Able to Add Text Symbol to User Name (iOS)
    You could try looking for similar characters on https://shapecatcher.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Help on symbol identification! seeing it more often in our fine art studio space, symbol being drawn a lot on various art works
    Doing a quick search on shapecatcher, similar or identical symbols include the alchemical symbol for alembic (🝪) and a logical operator (or see here) consisting of an overlapping "Or" (∨) and "And" (∧) symbol (⩙), which I'm not sure what it's used for. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Trying to ID this, it was in someone’s username. Sorry for low quality.
    Give https://shapecatcher.com/ a try, not sure maybe 𝚄? Source: about 1 year ago
  • What are different Unicode variants of the Star of David besides ✡️ (U+2721) and 🔯 (U+1F52F)?
    As /u/nplusonebikes mentioned, try https://shapecatcher.com/ for a kind of “backwards search” into Unicode. Source: about 1 year ago
  • ∩·⩘∩ o'clock
    There's https://shapecatcher.com/ which lets you draw a unicode character and have it returned to copy-paste! Source: over 1 year ago
  • Colleague has a similar tattoo to this - without being cringe and asking what it means - does it have an obvious meaning?
    You can use http://shapecatcher.com/ to draw symbols you want to search. Some suggestions when I drew yours:. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Osap Alphabet
    The Latin and Greek characters I typed directly, the accent mark I added with unicode input mode while referencing combining diacritical marks, and for the rest, shapecatcher.com, which is a really wonderful and useful site. I was able to use that (and Ukelele on Mac) to make a keyboard layout for my own conscript. Source: over 1 year ago
  • looking for chars
    Https://shapecatcher.com/ is yr friend. Source: over 1 year ago
  • ELI5: who/how alphabetized the alphabet for the English language? Is it random or is there some sort of guiding principle I’m unaware of? Bonus points if there’s actually a ‘better’ alphabetical order out there?
    Unfortunately, there's no Unicode characters with the shapes required for a lot of sounds in English, especially the vowels; I used this service to double-check, and to find the ones I did. And, the glyph approximations aren't all the right size, plus it's getting late where I am, but, here's a full (if weird) sentence I can eke out off the top of my head:. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Fumo Expression ふも表現
    I couldn't find the right unicode for Tewi's mouth (the 5th option). This is what I used to find the unicodes : https://shapecatcher.com/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Are there any good symbol/rune/ glyph identification apps or web sites? I’ve looked on google but, can’t seem to find anything.
    Shapecatcher is my go-to for finding characters encoded in unicode, but it's not 100% complete- it doesn't do Hanzi/Kanji/Hanja characters for example. I tend to use this site for them. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Unicode writing systems
    Hi, I've a few questions about making own writing system that works in unicode. Is there a way to type Latin characters or private usage characters from right to left? I've seen a website like this one that helps find existing unicode characters to use in your conscript, is there a way to search between characters written only right-to-left? Is there anything more to finding characters in unicode for conscript... Source: almost 2 years ago
  • whats this symbol means. and what's the Unicode value for this.
    Are you sure that's a Unicode character? You can try drawing it with https://shapecatcher.com. Source: almost 2 years ago
