Unicode UCS-2 Character Table

Post by ElementE »

Since the ASCII mode in PureBASIC will be removed in the future, I have been learning about unicode and the UCS-2 encoding that PureBASIC uses internally to represent unicode characters.

I have found a table of UCS-2 characters at this web page:

http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ucs2.html

If anyone here knows of other UCS-2 tables online, please post the link to them here.

All PureBASIC programmers will eventually have to "think" in terms of UCS-2.

This site
http://www.decodeunicode.org/
makes the following statement:
decodeunicode – The world’s writing systems
Unicode 5.0 encodes exactly 98,884 graphic characters on different planes.
Here you can see them all.

Soon we will update to Unicode 6.0 with 109,242 characters.

Thanks Danilo for posting the link to BabelMap.
It looks like it will be a very useful tool.
