Not sure if it's the same one, but I've found this handy for finding
Unicode characters:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/
It doesn't show the whole range in one table, as that would be quite
some table, but you can view a whole block at once. Not all fonts
contain all Unicode characters, so you may find that some of the more
esoteric characters don't display properly or at all.
That's not the page I was writing about, but I've bookmarked it. Thanks.
I found the page I was looking for, http://unicode.org/charts/. That
page made me realize I've got to learn more about today's font files.
If you check one of there fonts, say this one,
http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf, that's the type of simple chart
I'm looking for, except for one missing item. For character 0002 which
is the space, I'd like the word "space" to be associated with the
character in the chart. That tells me what the character is called in
plain English, i.e. "space", "em square", "decimal sign", etc. Then it
should be easier to check the font I wish to use to see if it contains
the extended characters/ligatures/etc. I need/want to use.
I used to really be into typography, but it was in the ASCII days,
around the Windows for Workgroups time.
