Maximal number of codepoints to display, default: 20; use 0 for unlimited

-iCHARSET
--io=IOCHARSET

I/O character set. For maximal pleasure, run unicode on UTF-8 capable terminal and
specify IOCHARSET to be UTF-8. unicode tries to guess this value from your locale,
so with properly set up locale, you should not need to specify it.

--fcp=CHARSET
--fromcp=CHARSET

Convert numerical arguments from this encoding, default: no conversion. Multibyte
encodings are supported. This is ignored for non-numerical arguments.

-cADDCHARSET
--charset-add=ADDCHARSET

Show hexadecimal reprezentation of displayed characters in this additional charset.

-CUSE_COLOUR
--colour=USE_COLOUR

USE_COLOUR is one of on off auto

--colour=on will use ANSI colour codes to colourise the output

--colour=off won't use colours.

USAGE


unicode tries to guess the type of an argument. In particular, if the arguments looks like
a valid hexadecimal representation of a Unicode codepoint, it will be considered to be
such. Using

unicode face

will display information about U+FACE CJK COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-FACE, and it will not
search for 'face' in character descriptions - for the latter, use:

unicode -r face

For example, you can use any of the following to display information about U+00E1 LATIN
SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE (á):

unicode 00E1

unicode U+00E1

unicode á

unicode 'latin small letter a with acute'

You can specify a range of characters as argumets, unicode will show these characters in
nice tabular format, aligned to 256-byte boundaries. Use two dots ".." to indicate the
range, e.g.

unicode 0450..0520

will display the whole cyrillic and hebrew blocks (characters from U+0400 to U+05FF)

unicode 0400..

will display just characters from U+0400 up to U+04FF

Use --fromcp to query codepoints from other encodings:

unicode --fromcp cp1250 -d 200

Multibyte encodings are supported: unicode --fromcp big5 -x aff3

and multi-char strings are supported, too:

unicode --fromcp utf-8 -x c599c3adc5a5
