- anyfoo 2y agoThat assumes you are in a position of being able to paste the character (and as unicode), which is not always the case.
- zamadatix 2y agoIf you already have a copyable version of the character it also works in the original Google search. Or any other place you can put it. The problem is when you don't have the literal character as text (say, an image, video, or non-digital source) and need to reproduce it to do that lookup in the first place.
