An Entity Lookup that helps
Category: LiveSearch
, Showcase, Utility
We have all been there. Trying to remember the darn HTML entity required. You can try to scroll through the massive list, or you can use a new tool by Remy Sharp that lets you type in a character that looks kinda like the thing you want.
For example, if you type in “c†it gives you all the HTML entities
that look a bit like a letter “câ€. These include: ¢, ©, ç,
⊆, ς
Imagine that. Something that actually tries to help.

Great Tool. Could use a little tweaking in IE6 but still great. I was needing something like this over the weekend 8P.
Very Cool !
Excellent. I searched for “arrow” and “>” and found the entities I always have to go and look for.
It would be nice to be able to click on a character in the results and see its neighbouring characters.
It’s surprising how many of those entities I have no idea what they are for. I had to look up the Masculine Ordinal Indicator (º), guess it’s more of an Italian and Spanish deal ;)
Wow, thats a great tool, I’ll be sure to use it.
There is also a dashboard widget for OS X
Very nice indeed, I will probably stop visiting WebMonkey if this turns out to be as useful as it appears.
nice…very del.ici.us worthy…
This thing is damn cool.
You can now find great alphabets to spice up your name in orkut.

The lookup has been upgraded based on feedback:
* Add your own keyword terms and characters to entities
* Copy the HTML entity to the clipboard within the browser
* Compressed output (i.e. more info above the “fold”)
intresting
1 - 3 have superscripted 1 - 3 but 4 - 0 don’t have superscript, lol… i say bug
Nice it would be very useful when I used Assembler in college to create a word processor.
