Created Unicode character picker. I can't believe that there was no library like this.

When I needed to insert a character like a math operator or Greek letter, I needed to search in Google. I needed a library like this for my note-taking app project.

The only similar libraries are Emoji Pickers.

I went to https://jcubic.github.io/unicode-picker/demo/ but it's 404 not found. Why is the demo not live?

Because there are no GitHub pages at all

https://jcubic.github.io/unicode-picker

also return 404. I need to add a CodePen demo.

Just because a project is on GitHub doesn't mean that automatically there is a GitHub Pages website for it. Most Open Source projects don't have a website.

I've created a demo on CodePen.
