Nice tool for character spelunking - Version: 1.0.0, 8/10/2005 06:17PM PST

This is a very handy tool for quick character lookups --the mini dictionary functions are useful too. (It might be nice to know exactly which variants are in common use where, but this is beyond the scope of such a modest app and not at all the author's responsibility.)

The interface is slightly clunky -- the tabs seem a bit superfluous in such a small window -- but this is a minor quibble. The gorgeous icon more than makes up for it and the service is a nice bonus. Could a widget be far behind?
