Re: Help create a Mac OSX port of Charmap

[Chad Hardin]

I just looked over the "Special Characters..." Mac OS X has in the Edit 
Menu, which brings up the character palette.   Let me tell you, it is 
simply awesome.  If Charmap matches up to it, I would be very 
impressed.  For instance, look here.  I am able to find Chinese 
characters by stroke count.  It also gives me related characters.  It 
actually *UNDERSTANDS* the language, it is much much more than 
something which displays the code tables.
