unichar
Print Unicode characters by name or code point
This is a very small utility that I use to insert Unicode characters into text documents in vim:
:r ! unichar bullet
There are likely other ways to do this, but it's nice to be able to call characters up by name:
:r ! unichar 'greek capital letter delta'
Notes
unichar requires a recent version of sclapp (at least bzr revision 89 from the dev branch on launchpad.net). It relies on sclapp's stdio_encoding.py for printing unicode strings.
Development Code
unichar utilizes a launchpad-hosted bzr repository. bzr is a distributed version-control system. To checkout the most recent development code, type this:
$ bzr branch https://launchpad.net/unichar
Ubuntu Packages
Installable packages for Ubuntu are available from my PPA (Personal Package Archive) on launchpad.
