	      Maximal number of codepoints to display, default: 20; use 0 for unlimited

       -iCHARSET
	      --io=IOCHARSET

	      I/O  character  set. For maximal pleasure, run unicode on UTF-8 capable terminal and specify IOCHARSET to be UTF-8. unicode tries to
	      guess this value from your locale, so with properly set up locale, you should not need to specify it.

	      --charset-add=ADDCHARSET

	      Show hexadecimal reprezentation of displayed characters in this additional charset.

	      --colour=off won't use colours.

	      --colour=auto will test if standard output is a tty, and use colours only when it is.

	      --color is a synonym of --colour

       -w     --wikipedia

	      Spawn browser pointing to Wikipedia entry about the character.

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.
