bevesce Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Find and paste unicode symbols. I included a lot of them, like really a lot, over 20k I think, but for me workflow works pretty fast. Symbol can be pasted as symbol (mh...), in html encoding, as python string and as unicode code point.

ramiro.araujo Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Nice! seldomly used, but but needed, it's a pain to look for Thanks! Link to comment
leang Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Super useful for designers! I would have paid Alfred2's Powerpack price for this workflow alone! Link to comment
spacecadet9 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Aww man This is almost too good to be true! Thank... totally awesome! Link to comment
tschoof Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thank you so much, this is great! Was always googling for the HTML code for some symbols when I needed them for a headline on my jekyll blog. Not anymore! Link to comment
Hozman Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Love it. Saves me a lot of frustration. Link to comment
sm_miri Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi, Is there any way to have a workflow for some favourite symbols, like having a handy list of them which can be fired up via let's say a hotkey? Link to comment
bevesce Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi, Is there any way to have a workflow for some favourite symbols, like having a handy list of them which can be fired up via let's say a hotkey? I don't know. But inserting a symbol on hotkey is the simplest thing in the world: just join Trigger > Hotkey and Outputs > Copy to clipboard. sm_miri 1 Link to comment

Patrik Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thank you! Best way to insert all the special character I could wish for! Link to comment
ctwise Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Great job. Seriously. You should post it on packal.org. Link to comment
bevesce Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 I updated workflow with new emojis from iOS 8.3 and simplified script itself Link to comment
effe Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Hi, Looks like an interesting workflow. I noticed in your recent commits that it looks like you hard-coded a file from your environment as the symbols file.. https://github.com/bevesce/unicode-symbols-search/blob/master/symbolssearch.py#L45 so I tried changing that to the symbols.txt file , but the parser barfs on the file: [ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] XML Parse Error 'The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSXMLParserErrorDomain error 38.)'. Row (null), Col (null): 'Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values' in XML: [...] I'll try to take a look at the file to see if I can figure out what's wrong, but maybe you are faster? Thanks edit: so now I see that that is supposed to be a temporary file. for those interested, just take out the absolute path and everything will work just fine. i.e. just leave 'a.txt' as the argument in the above referenced line.

bevesce Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, it was meant as log for debugging. It should've been removed. I commited new version that does that. Sorry. Link to comment
Southgirl Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Just installed this workflow and it's not working. Not sure if the creator is around though? Just in case, here's the dubbing info: [ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "symbolssearch.py", line 70, in <module> r.append(**kwargs)TypeError: append() keywords must be strings[ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "symbolssearch.py", line 70, in <module> r.append(**kwargs)TypeError: append() keywords must be strings[ERROR: alfred.workflow.input.scriptfilter] Code 1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "symbolssearch.py", line 70, in <module> r.append(**kwargs)TypeError: append() keywords must be strings FYI, Mac's running on 10.6 Link to comment
bevesce Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 I have no idea, it works for me. It's old OSX but I'd be surprised if that's the reason. Link to comment
