Unicode character recognition!

This can be a software that will help you discover Unicode characters. Discovering a selected character whose identify you do not know is cumbersome. On shapecatcher.com, all it’s good to know is the form of the character!

How do I take advantage of it?

Draw your character as finest you’ll be able to within the “drawbox”. You are able to do this by clicking and holding the left mouse button and shifting round. Draw as many strokes as it’s good to, then click on “Acknowledge” to start out the popularity. If you wish to clear the canvas and the outcomes click on on “Clear”.

My character is not discovered!

It’d merely not be within the database but. In the meanwhile, I solely use glyphs from free Unicode fonts to keep away from licensing issues. The algorithms behind the character recognition might deal with many extra characters, so I hope to increase the database within the close to future. See the Unicode list if you wish to know which Unicode blocks are at the moment supported.

If you cannot discover Chinese language, Japanese or Korean glyphs, ~~it’s as a result of I’ve but to discover a good free CJK font to make use of~~ . Google just lately created Noto, which goals to supply free high-quality typefaces for all languages with a really permissive license (Apache 2.0). The CJK font they embrace appears to be wonderful, too. I do have plans to incorporate it, however sadly I am at the moment not having a lot time to enhance Shapecatcher.

Alternatively, shapecatcher won’t carry out effectively in your character. Strive to attract it as exactly as you’ll be able to. Drop me an e-mail when you suppose that the outcomes are notably disappointing.

Assist! It would not work in any respect!

This venture remains to be in a beta stage. The drawing field depends on HTML5 options, so that you want a more moderen browser. I’ve examined the positioning succesfully with Firefox 6 and up to date variations of Chrome, Opera, Safari.

Should you get a “Unhealthy Gateway” error, the popularity engine cannot be reached or is at the moment offline. Be happy to tell me by e-mail about it.
