	<h2>About UnicodeForUs</h2>
	<p>
		Frustrated by the disappearance of unicodeairplaneforyou.com, I decided to create
		an easily-searchable repository of fun unicode characters that would belong to
		the world, and not to some jerk with a domain name and a Google AdWords account.
	</p>
	<p>
		The result is unicodefor.us! Sure, I'm probably a jerk, and I definitely have a domain
		name, and an AdWords account, but this time, the repository is open source! It belongs
		to you, and it belongs to me. The site is hosted by Github Pages, so the only incentive
		I have to put ads on it is pure greed! Hurray, greed!
	</p>
	<p>
		So welcome to unicodefor.us, please stick around and enjoy our many exciting characters!
		If you want to make your own unicodefor.us, you can fork the repo, and if your favorite
		unicode character is missing, pull requests are welcome!
	</p>
