what i mean though is i don't actually like social media that much for having actual conversations, and for status updates you can get away with something much simpler
@aescling long live cybre
@aescling cat you should actually watch it sometime
@witchfynder_finder sometimes movies are NOT trash
@Canageek@cybre.space there is also https://shapecatcher.com/ if you prefer drawing, but there are so many unicode lookalikes that it can be difficult (for example i got "circled crossing lanes" and "circle with superimposed x", which are not the correct characters in this case)
if all else fails you can try just browsing the mathematical symbols and operators block but i find a text search with a good guess works ~85% of the time
@Canageek@cybre.space for future reference, i typically use https://r12a.github.io/uniview/ to get the unicode character corresponding to a given symbol (type a guess for a word which might be in the name, like "times", into the search box and click "text")
if you know the LaTeX there are probably sites which have those mappings as well, although i'm not so familiar with them
once you have the character in unicode, pasting it into wiktionary or wikipedia can be a great resource
@Canageek@cybre.space wiktionary has more options if that's not right: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E2%8A%97
