About:
uni is a command-line tool that queries the Unicode database for character information. It allows developers to quickly look up character names, codepoints, and properties directly from the terminal. This streamlines workflows involving special symbols, emojis, and international text without needing a GUI.
Key Features:
  • Fast terminal-based Unicode search
  • Detailed character metadata output
  • Clipboard integration for discovered characters
  • Fuzzy search capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Identifying unknown Unicode characters in logs or text files
  • Finding specific symbols or emojis for development and documentation
  • Converting between character names and codepoints
Alternatives:
  • uni-cli – Alternative implementation with similar goals but different UI/feature set
  • standard OS character maps – GUI-based tools that are less efficient for rapid CLI workflows
