Show character codes in emoji mode #3

Closed microtherion closed 3 years ago

Thanks for an excellent tool!

I wish there were a direct way to show character codes in emoji mode. Right now we have:

% uni e switzerland
🇨🇭 flag: Switzerland  Flags  country-flag

and I have to copy & paste that character to uni i. Maybe add a verbose flag to get:

% uni e --verbose switzerland
🇨🇭 flag: Switzerland  Flags  country-flag
    '🇨'  U+1F1E8 127464 f0 9f 87 a8 🇨  REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER C (Other_Symbol)
    '🇭'  U+1F1ED 127469 f0 9f 87 ad 🇭  REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER H (Other_Symbol)

The way I do this now is

$ uni e switzerland | uni i | head

Or, if you really want just the emoji:

$ uni e switzerland | cut -d ' ' -f1 | uni i

But that's more typing 😅

In the future I'd like to add an option to configure the columns/format that are shown; it's a "TODO" comment. Then you would get something like:

$ uni e -format '%codepoints% %character%'
U+1F1E8 U+1F1ED 🇨🇭

Then you can easier pipe it back to identify:

$ uni e -format '%character' | uni i
'🇨'  U+1F1E8 127464 f0 9f 87 a8 🇨  REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER C (Other_Symbol)
'🇭'  U+1F1ED 127469 f0 9f 87 ad 🇭  REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER H (Other_Symbol)

There is now the -format flag to tell which columns to print; you can add %(cpoint):

$ uni e facepalm -gender all -tone all -format '%(name l:auto) %(cpoint l:auto) %(emoji)'
name                                      cpoint
