Very cool concept and execution, well done.

I don't quite understand what is going on with the "spotlight" UI concept - I can click around on the characters and it highlights an area and it also reloads the landscape local to the character that I clicked on, so I can sort of traverse the similarity landscape this way. But I feel like I might be missing some part of the visual metaphor?

Very good design. I added a visual similarity feature to my Unicode explorer a while ago, but it is nowhere near as fast. It is at https://unicode-atlas.vercel.app if anyone would like to check it out.

I'm not dyslexic, but this is what I imagine dyslexic hell is.
Love this. I hope it works with Japanese kanji too, because sometimes I forget the exact character but remember a similar one.
My question is, where's the unicode equivalent of this? :) | Hacker News
