This package looks up Unicode glyph names, it might be useful to some.
I updated Glyphy.jl to 1.5, so it now includes the (silly) additions in Unicode 16.

It uses the list provided by Unicode here.
If an obvious regular expression is input then the search will be for that regular expression in the glyph names.
Of course, if you don’t know what things are called, you’ll not be able to find them.
