In my work and in my writing here, I’m constantly searching for “ellipsis”, “euro symbol”, and “section symbol”, among many, many other symbols. For me, trying to remember even more alt codes is a futile endeavour.
Obviously, when Sam Rose wrote this, I was excited: “Made a dumb website so I wouldn’t ever have to Google “tm symbol” again.“
And so started symbol.wtf, a site I now have bookmarked and visit at least once a week, simply clicking on the easy to find symbols to copy them.
