As always, feedback and questions welcome.

== Highlights==
* Rare Character Search? Have you ever wanted to search for "rare"
characters on-wiki—like the Ankh (☥), unusual punctuation like a ditto
mark (〃), or uncommon whitespace characters like an 'en space'? We're
trying to gauge interest in a potential future feature that would make
finding them easier. Join the conversation on Phabricator [0], English
Wikipedia or Wiktionary, or Commons (links at [1]).
