How do you find unicode characters in VSCode?

The Julia extension for VSCode makes it nice and easy to use Unicode characters with latex-like syntax. For example if I want a variable named with the symbol for pi in a unicode-aware language, I can just type \pi<tab> and get the symbol for pi!

But I can't figure out how to search for these characters. The find boxes don't seem to do the same tab-completion on latex-like syntax.

Is there something obvious I'm missing?

This worked for me:

  1. Write \pi<tab> in the editor which will convert it to the symbol π (you can also do \pi<enter> or \pi<mouse-click first item in drop-down>).
  2. Copy the symbol π from the editor and paste it into the find box (Ctrl+F) and press enter.
