Shapecatcher – Find Unicode characters by drawing

It worked for zero of the Hangul characters I tried, either from the syllables set or the Jamo composition block.

My Korean handwriting leaves a lot to be desired, especially on the phone, but it did suggest several similar katakana, so I'm surprised by the omission

It says this:

well does also not work for most of the ones I tried without those. Do you get “pi” to work?

It worked for me on the second try. The lines had to connect just right.

Empty set ∅ and therefore ∴ worked for me too.

I’ve used Shapecatcher since laat time it was mentioned on HN, and found it pretty dang useful and surprisingly accurate. Pi’s worked fine for me, among others… did you draw it with multiple strokes, or maybe make the sides too straight?
