HTML Character SearchUsing special characters in documents and web pages is fun and always a good way of expressing the ton of what you are writing about, don't you think? But finding those characters can be a pain. ☹

Google Drive announced on Google+ that you can now search for those by drawing them on the screen. You can also search by keyword to find them.
