       Character Map provides accented characters, mathematical symbols, special symbols, and punctuation marks. Many of the  characters  are  not
       available on a standard keyboard.

       Note:  The  gucharmap  application  also provides a library called libgucharmap. This library is licensed under GPL. Please see the license
