Detexify will allow you to hand write the character you don't know and then it will give you suggestions on which it could be as well as the code to produce it.

This is really cool! I don't have any interesting examples to test out but it correctly guessed all of the symbols I drew. Thanks, Dustin.

Does this have anything to do with the Textify website?

I don't know. I just know a lot of people find Detexify useful so I posted. I tend to look everything up instead of use it though.
