The Top Google Search Result for each Unicode Character

The result of running a Google search for each Unicode character and storing the top result: The Top Google Search Result for each Unicode Character.

Up to 14000, so far (it's a large file, might take a while to load).

Nice idea.

Too bad Google give no results for ? and too bad Google results are sort-of random (depending on your location, language and all).

When I click on a wikipedia link for an individual non-ascii letter that you provide as the top hit.... I always get an error from Google. Maybe something has been encoded by your bot recording the hits in a way different than wikipedia wants or needs it? Or these are pages that used to exist but don't anymore?

Eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%25C6%2591

Fixed now, thanks Jonathan (the URLs from Google were URL-encoded, which broke the Wikipedia links).
