unicode_palette

Unicode is now almost ubiquitous, and it has a very rich set of symbols and emojis that one can use to visually improve their communication.

The question is how to find and use them.

This program generates a data: URL containing a palette of Unicode symbols that can be copied from and searched (if the name is included).

This URL can then be opened in your browser and/or bookmarked in order to always have a visual reference handy.
