Nobody likes to type HTML entities for special characters, so Leftlogic has provided us a really cool solution with their HTML entity character lookup. It works in a very intuitive way, you just have to remember what letter the character you are searching looks like, then type this letter in the search box to get a choice of entities.
You can even get the widget for that tool. I didn’t get it and just added a keyword search to it, so I can get it quickly from my browser.
