gnome-characters is a character browser and is part of the core GNOME apps. All its dependencies are in main. It replaces the older gucharmap that we continue to ship. gnome-characters has a GUI that fits in with the GNOME style, while gucharmap has an old fashioned interface.
I found it simpler to find useful characters than gucharmap (which is more of a Unicode browser) and the use of a Headerbar makes it more consistent with the rest of the desktop. We should ship it by default or give a reason in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DefaultApps why it should not be included. --Robert
