NAME¶

ucm - Unicode Character Map

SYNOPSIS¶

ucm [options]

DESCRIPTION¶

The ucm utility displays a character map using a Unicode font. Clicking any character selects it, which allows pasting arbitrary Unicode characters into other applications. Pasting a string selects its first character, which allows identification of characters displayed in other applications.

Ucm prefers to transfer selections as UTF8_STRING; if that fails, it falls back to COMPOUND_TEXT, and finally to STRING. COMPOUND_TEXT is only supported if compiled against XFree86 4.0.2 or later.

OPTIONS¶

All standard toolkit options are accepted.

-fn

sets the font resource of the grid widget, which should be a Unicode-encoded font (identified by a CHARSET specified as ISO10646-1).

RESOURCES¶

The widget that displays the character grid has name grid, and class UGrid. It supports the following resources.

font

the font to use for the character grid. This should be a Unicode-encoded font.

gridColor

the colour of the lines around the glyphs.

gridWidth

the width of the lines around the glyphs. 0 means don't draw, 1 means use thin lines.

ACTIONS¶

Quit()

quit the application.

Prev()

turn to the previous 256-codepoint page.

Next()

turn to the next 256-codepoint page.

Clear()

clear the selection.

SEE ALSO¶

xterm(1), xfd(1), X(1).

BUGS¶

Only the codepoint of the selected character is displayed, not the full character name.

Cut buffers are not supported (this is actually a feature).
