utf-cli

PyPI - Version PyPI - Python Version

Like a mashup of https://unicode.party/ and https://utf8.xyz/ but it's completely local in your terminal!

typing "sparkles" and copying sparkles character

Installation

pipx install utf-cli

Usage

Run utf:

utf

Then:

  1. Type your query
  2. Hit Enter, Tab, or the down arrow key to select the first result
  3. Use Tab or arrow keys to move between results
  4. Hit Enter to copy the character

To copy the Python code point escape sequence (e.g. \u2728 or \U00002728) hit the c key.

To copy the HTML escape entity for a character (e.g. ©) hit the h key.

To copy the name for a character (e.g. Sparkling Heart) hit the n key.

Note that the mouse works also:

  • Clicking on a result will also copy the character.
  • Scrolling should work as expected

Features

Before you start typing a query, a default character list will show up. The default characters are commonly searched for characters (by Trey's best guess of what's common).

The utf program will keep track of every time you search for a character. The characters you search for most often will show up near the beginning of the default character list.
