"Let me google that" pulls out character map pretty poor UX if you ask me. Almost as bad for search ability as calling your product "go" or "cloud" or "driver" or any other one-word generic, hard to find even with contextual terms around it.

the poor UX is not the Character Map

It is having to open it every time you want to type the name of µSomething
