Charmap - powerful character map - LinuxLinks
Charmap is a powerful character map. It works on Unix-like operating systems with the GNUstep installed.
Charmap’s power lies not just in simply helping to pick characters, but also its display of substantial Unicode data about each character, such as the Unicode name, alias, canonical decomposition, Unicode category, and various representations. With all this, linguaphiles and software developers alike will find Charmap a useful tool.
