Unicode Explorer — Binary Search Over HTTP
— By leveraging HTTP Range requests and fixed-width binary records, Unicode Explorer demonstrates efficient binary search for Unicode data directly from a static file with zero backend or dependencies. The client fetches only one 256-byte record per step, using signposts from `meta.json` to optimize initial narrowing, then performs real-time network-driven binary search, visualized in an interactive log.
