Description

Now, I cannot detect, what character I have in text, for example "
" or " ". It would be cool to find character by pasting it right in a search bar.

Who will benefit from this feature?

Everyone, who can stumble upon an unknown characters.

Anything else?

As I see right now, there are no cyrillic letters, it would be also cool to add; but maybe this should have its own feature request. Oh, there is one already https://github.com/raycast/extensions/issues/24391
