Every have trouble remember the code to a LaTeX symbol?
Typically when you want to find an infrequently used symbol in LaTeX you often have to refer to the comprehensive symbols list: http://ctan.math.utah.edu/ctan/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-letter.pdf. However, this can be time consuming and difficult to find the symbol you need.
Detexify can help find the code to LaTeX symbols simply by drawing what they look like. Try it out for yourself, and you will shortly have a new bookmark for Detexify in your browser.
