You need an em dash. You know it exists. You cannot find it.
You try a Google search. You get a Wikipedia article about punctuation. You try typing Option+Shift+Minus on your Mac and get something that might be right but you're not sure. You give up and use two hyphens like it's 1987.
There's a better way.
CopyChar is a clean, searchable library of every special character you've ever needed ā organized by category, instantly copyable. Em dashes. En dashes. Ellipses. Copyright symbols. Trademark symbols. Registered symbols. Every currency sign on earth. Every arrow direction. Degree symbols. Fractions. Mathematical operators. Accented letters for every language. Dingbats. Checkmarks. Stars. Playing card suits. Snowflakes.
Click any character and it's on your clipboard. No keyboard shortcut to memorize. No character map buried in your operating system. No alt codes. Just browse, find what you need, click it, paste it.
The search works too. Type 'arrow' and every arrow variant appears. Type 'star' and you get stars. Type 'copyright' and you get Ā©, ā, and every related symbol. Type 'euro' and every European currency mark shows up.
It sounds like a small thing. It isn't. Once you know this exists you'll use it constantly ā in emails, in documents, in social posts, in code comments, in design work, in anywhere you've ever typed and wanted a symbol you couldn't produce.
The site is free. No account. No ads cluttering up the interface. Just characters, organized, waiting for you to need them.
ā is an em dash. You're welcome.
