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?

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:

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

  • bmalum 2 months ago

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

      I’ve used Shapecatcher since laat time it was mentioned on HN, and found it pretty dang useful and surprisingly accurate. Pi’s worked fine for me, among others… did you draw it with multiple strokes, or maybe make the sides too straight?

      It worked for me on the second try. The lines had to connect just right.

      Empty set ∅ and therefore ∴ worked for me too.

Always liked this site for finding characters I don't know the exact name of.

Wish someone would turn it into an android keyboard, or at least a layout for anysoftkey.

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