I am interested in history, I am conducting a local history forum about Riga, where it is often necessary to quote sources. Sometimes old letters are needed - pre-revolutionary Cyrillic, "ŗ", "ō", and others. In the keyboard layouts they are not, the character map is inconvenient - collected
rare letters and ligatures (accreted letters) on one page “for one’s own” by the type copypastecharacter.com.
To do so is taken from Wikipedia of many-many letters: Latin and Cyrillic with all kinds of diacritics, the Greek alphabet with outdated symbols, phonetic signs, ligatures. I dropped the hearts of the snowmen, which are usual for such services.
Used Tumblr and Dropbox as hosting. I told my friends, just in case I threw a link into a couple of Web2.0 catalogs that had been browsed - and even with such a modest promotion I got a couple of dozen links from blogs, incl.
from Twitter Smashing Magazine , and more than
120 bookmarks on Delicious. I understood that the page is in demand. I share with Habr, use.
