About Charmap
Charmap is a powerful character map. It is developed using the Openstep standard, allowing compilation with the GNUstep development environment (<http://www.gnustep.org>) and soon on Mac OSX. For installation, read INSTALL. Details follow.
Charmap offers font selection, allowing one to easily see all the glyphs which a particular font offers.
Perhaps Charmap's biggest advantage is its support for displaying Unicode information.
Unicode support
Charmap can display all Unicode characters up to code point 0xFFFF. Support for all of the Unicode 4.0 standard will come shortly.
Charmap is different than most character maps in that it uses the files which document the Unicode standard to display a wealth of information to the user. By inspecting a character the user can view the character's name, UTF-8, octal, and decimal representation.
CJK support
If CJK support is installed, viewing a CJK character (a character belonging to the Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages) will display the character's meaning. For instructions on viewing CJK information, see INSTALL.
