Follow the tip that I posted in that previous topic. I typically have Wikipedia and/or Fileformat.info open with my Firefox font set to GINORMOUS (so I can see all the little details).

(Plus Wikipedia typically has much better/more logical organization, like those accent tables make the Greek a thousand times more sense than just having them plopped around in unicode # order).

I read it right after you posted it (I was view #1). Already sent you karma right after I read it. We need more tutorials. (Which reminds me, I should get around to writing more of mine...)
