    I feel like the original commenter didn’t really provide what I think you’re looking for.

    A service that does something I think you might find useful is something like this: https://shapecatcher.com/

    If you’re a learner/speaker of Chinese (or Japanese, I think? I assume they use this character also) then this character is very basic so quickly comes to mind (大 dà: “big”).

        A better suggestion for Chinese is Pleco, but you have to download an app for that (if one is learning Chinese, one would already have this)

        I’m keen to find something else for universal unicode character recognition, but haven’t extensively searched.

        If you have any suggestions, feel free

      It’s typically pronounced Tai/Dai in Japanese (大成功, daiseiko, 大変, taihen), or “oo” in the case of 大きい/大きな (ookii/ookina).
