New web toy
A while back, Marla had an email address someone had copied and pasted that wasn't working. I took a look at it and eventually found that it had a non-printable special character inside it (I think the character is called "zero-width whitespace" or something like that). I took a couple minutes today to make a little Javascript tool that'll help track down special characters in case something like that comes up in the future.
Here it is.
I got bored of typing in scripts (there are like a million different scripts defined in Unicode) so I only Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic are covered for now. Also ideally it should be able to pick out, for instance, a Latin 'o' in the middle of some Cyrillic text. Right now it just says anything that's not basic Latin is a problem and flags it red :P
