Visualize and compare unicode encoded character sets.
Drop the fonts/files into the browser and render unicode charts for them. The tool is 100% client side, so your data stays on your computer.
This is early stage. So things may not be as easy as they could be and some things don't work at all right now. Contributions are welcome!
You probably wont need to install this because there is a version online.
However, there are different ways how Character Set Inspector can be deployed. See:
- index.html for the simplest example: online
- setup-example.html has predefined charsets available via select menus: online
- Mirza Character Set installation via
bower install charset-inspectorwith some custom setup: online
*.woff, *.otf, *.ttf are supported via drag & drop,
*.nam, *.ucd are supported as presets and as drag & drop.
I made this suffix up for Unicode Character Database which has a similar format browse here
- lines that start with # are skipped
- lines that are empty are skipped
- everything after
;in a line is skipped
You can specify code-points or ranges using hexadecimal characters:
- code-point
0041as in e.g. Jamo.txt - range
0041..0052as in e.g. Blocks.txt
example:
03A8;GREEK CAPITAL LETTER PSI;Lu;0;L;;;;;N;;;;03C8;
0000..007F; Basic Latin
0080..00FF; Latin-1 Supplement
0530..058F; Armenian
0590..05FF; Hebrew
0600..06FF; Arabic
1200..137F
0600
0601
0602
;this line is skipped, it has no code point
These files usually come from google/fonts/tools/encodings
and look like this:
0x0600 # ARABIC NUMBER SIGN
0x0601 # ARABIC SIGN SANAH
0x0602 # ARABIC FOOTNOTE MARKER
i.e. line separated, a code point is the first thing in a line and starts with 0x then some hexadecimal characters.
Most minimal would be:
0x0600
0x0601
0x0602
If you need information after the code point use #.
- Support all character set source formats as preset and as drag and drop. [easy]
- Support editor formats as sources:
ufo,ufoz,glyphs,sfd,sfdir - Use provided fonts to render available glyphs.
- Use maybe some fallback font like GNU Unifont
