Does what I need, has the characters I need.

Using this instead of Special Characters by Tabgraf, does basically the same thing but lacks a search bar, but at least I don't have to pay to copy and paste things 🤣🤣

I used to use a different special characters extension by Tabgraf, but it recently switched to a subscription-only model, so I stopped using it. This extension does more or less the same thing as Tabgraf's, while also being completely free, making it a great alternative. The only major downside is that it lacks a search bar, but that's somewhat alleviated by the characters being sorted into categories, making specific characters easier to find.

Ok but needs two essential features: 1. Show name of symbol when hovering mouse over. Some symbols are hard to differentiate without knowing the name. 2. Search. Takes a lot of time to click through different collections to find the right symbol. 3. Bonus! Pin symbols to easily access frequently used.
