Re: How do you print all Unicode characters in a range - I want the subscripts, can't google a range of Unicode.

aaargh not to a "function" i meant to a "file".
like
auto f = File("test.txt", "wt");
f.writeln(s);
then open test.txt and make sure it is opened in utf-8 mode.

terminal.writeln(s);
// this will not
import std.stdio;
writeln(s);
}
```

Now, while it outputs correctly, you'll still note a bunch of
empty boxes. That's because the *font* I'm using doesn't include
those characters. If you changed fonts there's a decent chance
you can see those too.

Re: How do you print all Unicode characters in a range - I want the subscripts, can't google a range of Unicode.
The output will be bad because of Windows specific behavior related to
not outputting as UTF-16.
This will print all the characters in the block "Superscripts and
Subscripts".
The Unicode database is very out of date (just waiting for merge for
update), but should be ok for this example.
```
import std.uni : unicode;
import std.stdio : writefln;
void main() {
foreach(c; unicode.InSuperscriptsandSubscripts.byCodepoint)
writefln!"U+%X = "(c, c);
}
```
Unfortunately I'm not seeing an obvious way of determining
subscript/superscript from what we have.
You can do it with the help of[0] via Super/Sub field values, which
originate from UnicodeData.txt's Decomposition_Type field, but you
shouldn't parse that if you only want just this one set of values.
