The annotated data is taken from Unicode.org's NamesList.txt file.
The table also compiles statistics on character similarities (people
who chose X also chose Y), and most popular characters.
What do y'all think? Useful, hopefully?

Nice work but I usually use MainType for the same task.
Font selection do not work in Opera browser. This usally suggests error or incompatibility in the page but could be a bug in Opera too.

If you're working on a Mac, you can also access the Unicode values,
character titles, and installed fonts that contain the selected
characters directly from the Mac OS X Character Palette.
In the Finder, choose Edit > Special Characters to open the Character
Palette. You can then browse, select and copy them into any document.

Interesting. I wish I could get more information on the user's
installed fonts from JavaScript, but you can't even get a list of
their names.

Unicode contains about 100,000 printable characters. You are apparently
limiting yourself to Plane 0.

Well, it could be useful, but does it have any advantages over the "old"
and semi-official UniView database
http://people.w3.org/rishida/scripts/uniview/ (which is rather
impressive - note the links to the FileFormat(.info) site entries, which
contain a lot of information about font support, too).
