unicode character list
Hey, does anyone have an easy to navigate list/chart that shows the unicode strings of generic characters like a-z, question marks, brackets etc? I can't seem to find a good quality one, thanks in advance.

you can check the ascii-7 character encoding
utf8 is just a superset of it
ah thank you, i looked that up and it gave me this, this seems like it would be it right? https://www.ascii-code.com/
ASCII table - Table of ASCII codes, characters and symbols
A complete list of all ASCII codes, characters, symbols and signs included in the 7-bit ASCII table and the extended ASCII table according to the Windows-1252 character set, which is a superset of ISO 8859-1 in terms of printable characters.
yup, but dont use the extended set
awesome, thank you, what's the extended set if you don't mind?
it's just special symbols that were added later, and multiple encodings use the last 127/128 characters for that
there's ansi, windows-1250 to windows-1259
there's also the dos encodings
there's iso-8859-x
there's just so many
for utf8, it uses the bit for the extended set for other things
that is a lot haha, i appreciate the info, thanks, i'll look into it
you're welcome
if you're using this, i bet it is for the
@font thingy, then you should use a tool to check the characters that the font can displayyeah it is for that haha, that would definitely be useful, is there any tools you could link me to?
quick question, the unicode strings are based off of the hex value aren't they? so
! would be U+0021 right?
i think so, yes
im not sure
alright no worries, i'll give it a test, thanks
you can check the syntax for it
alright, i'll do that
On Linux you type Ctrl+Shift+U & you'll get a u̲ prompt that lets you type in the hex you want. On Windows, supposedly, the Alt key plus the decimal representation of a character entered on the numeric keypad gets you a glyph.
Wikipedia recommends BabelMap on Windows for exploring Unicode. I use Gnome Characters on Ubuntu.
There's also simply the Unicode.org pdf charts.
that's not what he wants
what he wants is the character range for a font
