💖 utf8lookup(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the <pink>utf8lookup</pink> era ✨ it's a lil cutie from the General Commands Manual section and it's literally one job: tell you the name of a Unicode character when you hand it a codepoint. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

utf8lookup — look up Unicode characters from the command line 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

utf8lookup <unicode codepoint as hex text without leading 0x>

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like, utf8lookup is a simple bash script — no cap, that's the whole thing — and what it does is it reads a Unicode codepoint as hex, written without the leading 0x (yes, that part matters, leave the 0x at home 🫶), and then it prints out the name of the corresponding character. iconic behavior fr fr 🌈
