About

uni is an application that displays Unicode code points for glyphs included as arguments on the command line.

Install

uni is developed in Go and compiled to the command line executable uni. A variety of cross-compiled binaries are available for use on Linux, macOS, and Windows systems, or you can download the source and compile the application yourself. Instructions for both approaches follow.

Install a pre-compiled binary

Download the appropriate archive file for your system from the repository releases. Unpack the .zip archive and move the uni executable to the desired directory. For *.nix users (including macOS), the uni executable can be placed on your system PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin) to enable use system-wide use with the following:

$ uni [args]

If you do not install on your system PATH, navigate to the directory where you saved the uni executable and use the following:

$ ./uni [args]

Compile from source files and install

If you would prefer to build the application from the source, follow these instructions:

• Install Go
• Define your GOPATH
• go get github.com/source-foundry/uni
• go install $GOPATH/src/github.com/source-foundry/uni

Usage

uni takes glyph arguments and displays the associated Unicode code points. You can include the glyphs in a single string or separate them with spaces. Use quotes around special shell characters.

$ uni [glyph 1]...[glyph n]

$ uni Aa1Ø€βф▀र༩↵√ナ
