Utilities for Unicode characters in Emacs.
(require 'ucs-utils)
(ucs-utils-char "Middle Dot" ; character to return
?. ; fallback if unavailable

(ucs-utils-string "Horizontal Ellipsis" '[["..."]])This library provides utilities for manipulating Unicode characters, with integrated ability to return fallback characters when Unicode display is not possible.
Some ambiguities in Emacs' built-in Unicode data are resolved, and character support is updated to Unicode 7.0.
There are three interactive commands:
ucs-utils-ucs-insert ; ucs-insert workalike using ido-completing-read
ucs-utils-eval ; the inverse of ucs-insert
ucs-utils-install-aliases ; install shorter aliases
The other functions are only useful from other Lisp code:
ucs-utils-char
ucs-utils-first-existing-char
ucs-utils-vector
ucs-utils-string
ucs-utils-intact-string
ucs-utils-pretty-name
ucs-utils-read-char-by-name
ucs-utils-subst-char-in-region
- M-x customize-group RET ucs-utils RET
