unicode study with unicodedata module

[Xah Lee]

here's a snippet of code that prints a range of unicode chars, along
with their ordinal in hex, and name.

chars without a name are skipped. (some of such are undefined code
points.)

On Microsoft Windows the encoding might need to be changed to utf-16.

Change the range to see different unicode chars.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from unicodedata import *

l=[]
for i in range(0x0000, 0x0fff):
    l.append(eval('u"\\u%04x"' % i))

for x in l:
    if name(x,'-')!='-':
        print x.encode('utf-8'),'|', "%04x"%(ord(x)), '|', name(x,'-')
