Yes, but I think Chris Weber was up to something else when he wrote:

That tool lets you draw, by hand (mouse), a glyph and then recognizes what
symbol it might be. It’s a pretty cool tool, but it’s limited to symbols
(whatever that might be—letters are apparently excluded, as e.g. my draw of
the diameter sign resulted in a suggestion of a few symbols, including the
diameter sign, but excluding the letter ø). Moreover, it recognizes drawn
characters. I tried to copy and paste a character there but just managed to
crash Firefox.
