I can't tell if that was sarcastic or not, lol.

I've been looking at the docs on www.unicode.org, most OSes include something like this by now, but I think it world be good to have a Font glyphs browser palette stack in the IDE if no one has made one yet. I'd probably only use it for looking up emojis though. I've named my stack files with emoji characters before. :-P .livecode

Font glyphs browser palette stack in the IDE
The problem with this is that making one automatically can get fouled up with Unicode reserved characters.

Reserved characters? They're all reserved for character/glyphs, aren't they? Reserving numbers for characters/glyphs is the whole thing isn't it?

I'll talk more about this idea elsewhere.
