Cannot find some characters
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Thank you for your great plugin.
I like to use
Rightwards Harpoon Over Leftwards Harpoon
⇌ (U+21CC)
but I cannot find it.
Isn't it possible to find all unicode signs, yet?
I'm on android.
Hello @merlinuwe. You're right.
After taking a quick look, a lot of characters are missing from the list.
I will need to take deeper look into how to pull all Unicode characters.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to write the issue.
Problem
Only a few pages of Unicode characters were initially put into the plugin.
That means a lot of characters are missing.
Temporary Workaround
Edit the plugin data file.
- Close your Obsidian Vault
- Open the
/.obsidian/plugins/unicode-search/data.json
file of your vault. - Go to the very end of the file.
- Add a comma after the last record.
- Append the info for a character you wish to add.
{
"meta": {
"initialized": true,
"version": "1"
},
"data": {
//... a bunch of characters will be here ...
"𝇩": {
"name": "zorro",
"char": "𝇩"
}, // 3. Add a comma here
// 4. [start] Add your character info here
"⇌": {
"name": "rightwards harpoon over leftwards harpoon",
"char": "⇌"
}
// 4. [end]
}
}
Fixed in Release 0.4.0.
However, not all characters are present, as it proved a strain on the search performance.
Thanks for this awesome plugin! Maybe add this guide in the README?
