24h update after the Show HN — quick recap.

Based on the feedback here, I spent the last day tightening a few core things:

- Navigation / mobile: tapping a card now opens the symbol page directly; copy is a separate, larger button. The tiny expand target is gone.

- Search: alias + lightweight fuzzy matching is in (e.g. “section”, “angstrom”, “greater than”), plus a /codepoint/... fallback so pasting a literal character or U+XXXX always lands on a usable page, even outside the curated index.

- Missing glyphs: added a small “Font tips (if you see □)” section with system font notes and Noto suggestions.

- Content: HTML/CSS/JS guidance now recommends writing the literal character + UTF-8 by default; entities/codes are framed as legacy/reference only. Added Notes and improved Related (pairs, confusables, same block).

- Privacy: removed session recording; analytics are opt-in with a real reject-all (everything works fine with tracking off).

Direction going forward: fewer generic “how-to” instructions, more symbol-specific context — confusables, paired glyphs, rendering quirks, and references people actually look for.

Thanks again for the detailed feedback — it materially improved the project.
