Input

Character set up to date to Unicode 12. The tool as a whole is a new version, public in early stages. As I work on it, it will be missing features, occasionally its data, and sometimes give errors.

Input currently recognised:
Or you could get a random character.

Input wasU+885B
InterpretationAssuming this is a U+ style codepoint for U+885B

Looks like a single character, or reference to one. Will describe as such.

PUA-A - Private Use Area A:




PUA-B - Private Use Area B:




Note that of the ~1.1 million codepoints under U+10FFFF (the current cap), only ~140K are general-purpose graphic codepoints (about half in BMP), ~130K are private use (with no defined characters), and ~830K are unused.

The grouping used above is somewhat arbitrary, but looks halfway sensible
