So good, I always google "ascii bullet", I'll put it on https://undesign.learn.uno, nice job, I really like the design!

@caicardenas Hi, just to let you know that I have finally added it (in the tools category)

This is super useful, i would love to use it, but unfortunately it hurts my eyes for those big yellow color backgrounds. This could be improved, otherwise, great job man.
Cai Cardenas
@shemul great feedback. I did consider adding a dark mode, I’ll add it to my list!

Hey Product Hunters 🤟 welcome to Gliphy, a fun little side project I designed and built during some downtime. It came out of a frustration of constantly needing to Google search things like "diagonal down arrow", "tick icon", etc. You simply find the glyph you're looking for and click/tap to copy it to your clipboard. Yes there are other similar resources out there, but I wanted to create something that was super simple and easy to use. And yes on macOS you can access an entire unicode library, but it's not the easiest to use and sometimes I'm on my iPhone or iPad, or would just prefer to stay in Safari/Chrome. It doesn't contain every possible glyph out there (yet!) - and I have purposely omitted some that you can easily access from your keyboard - however if you would like to see others added to the list let me know! Features like sort and search may come in the future if I get enough interest 🙂

Awesome! Please add search and emojis. I dont want to go to freaking emonipedia each time
Cai Cardenas
@markus_saitmacher1 search is definitely something I want to add soon. Emoji’s I will need to think about though, that’s a whole other kettle of fish!
Markus Saitmacher
There are good framkeworks out there like Solr or Elastic Search. Also high generic Seo ranking would be really powerful and useful for this. Regarding emojis: Loom around you they are everywhere 😉

@markus_saitmacher1 Hi Markus, we might have the solution for all your emoji finding needs: starttyping.co! 😎 Start Typing is now also live on Product Hunt. What's your take on this?https://www.producthunt.com/post...

If I'm not mistaken, such feature was in MS Office:) But online of course is more useful

@dimansny1 I haven't really used word in 8 years

Yo this is actually awesome – I always google for glyphs such as bullet, trademark, etc. and end up having to go through at least a few sites before I find something copyable. This will become my new go-to resource 👌 How come I haven't though of it? 😅 I also love the look and branding, but the black characters on bright yellow background is a little straining to look at especially when you're looking for a particular icon and need to parse through a lot of them. On that note, it might be helpful to group these somehow and increase spacing to make quickly finding whatever you're looking for easier. The trailing shadow, while pretty, is also a little slow and somewhat disorienting. Finally a super neat feature would be the ability to quickly type the name of the glyph you're looking for and have the results filter down. I can envision landing on this page, immediately start typing "trad..." and have the trademark and registered trademark icons displayed, perhaps the topmost result highlighted and copied on enter.

Also add the Bitcoin ₿ pls 🙌
Cai Cardenas
@alekplay these are all great suggestions Aleksander! I will definitely note these all down. This was a small side project so it can’t take priority over my day job, but I will certainly consider all these very soon!
Cai Cardenas
@alekplay Also I totally agree about the trailing hover effect. I was a bit unsure about it in the first place anyway so I will change that today!
