characterize.vim - Unicode character metadata
Just came across and installed the characterize.vim plugin that in Vim modernizes the ga
command to reveal character representation. Displayed are now
- Unicode character names: U+00A9 COPYRIGHT SYMBOL
- Vim digraphs (type after <C-K> to insert the character): Co, cO
- Emoji codes: :copyright:
- HTML entities: ©
So for example with the cursor on a letter ö hitting ga
in command mode displays in the status line
<ö> 246, \366, U+00F6 LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS, ^Ko:, ö
Neat.
