USAGE

       unicode tries to guess the type of an argument. For example, you can use any of the following to display  information  about  U+00E1  LATIN
       SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE (a):

       unicode 00E1

       unicode U+00E1

       unicode a

       unicode 'latin small letter a with acute'

       You  can  specify  a range of characters as argumets, unicode will show these characters in nice tabular format, aligned to 256-byte bound-
       aries.  Use two dots ".." to indicate the range, e.g.

       unicode 0450..0520

       will display the whole cyrillic and hebrew blocks (characters from U+0400 to U+05FF)

       unicode 0400..

       will display just characters from U+0400 up to U+04FF

BUGS

       Tabular format does not deal well with full-width, combining, control and RTL characters.
