Utility Mill

Sometimes I'll need to post "∞" or "☃" into a text form on the web somewhere, and obviously my keyboard can't easily make those things. So I figured this utility would be useful to simply type in the Hex code for whatever unicode symbol you want and get its UTF-8 representation back.

This is a good resource to look up the hex values for any unicode symbol

Here are a few common ones I find myself using:

• 221E = ∞ (Infinity)
• 222b = ∫ (Integral)
• 263A = ☺ (Smiling face)
• 2603 = ☃ (Snowman)
• 262E = ☮ (Pease Symbol)
• 03C0 = π (Pi)
• 00d1 = Ñ (Enye uppercase)
• 00F1 = ñ (Enye lowercase)

Disclaimer:

I may be overlooking some way easier way to access these types of characters. I may also be doing some unicode thing completely wrong.
