& Detexify

So, somebody just linked me to Detexify, a very neat little program that reads your "handwriting" and tries to find the TeX special character that you just wrote.

Now, personally I don't have much use for such a thing, as I don't use TeX. However, it happens to be open source, which means that if I can muster the energy I'm going to try it with the set of Chinese characters and see how well it can do identifying those. If it can do that decently I have some much less theoretical uses for it...
