Copy Paste Character

Two weeks ago we (me and Konst & Teknik) launched copypastecharacter.com—a site to make it dead easy to copy those special characters which otherwise can be hard to find. We just pushed an update and I realized I hadn’t mentioned it here.

The character you click will automatically get copied into your clipboard, thanks to the flash technique mentioned here. However, I wrote my own JavaScript class to handle the clipboard and the buffer of clicked characters since you can hold down ‹alt› to copy multiple characters at once.

Here’s the source for the copy buffer class in case anyone’s interested.
