SYNOPSIS
chars [options] [character|codepoint|query]...
DESCRIPTION
chars is a command-line tool for displaying detailed information about ASCII and Unicode characters and code points. Inspired by `ascii(1)` and `unicode.py`, it supports whitespace and control characters.For each character it prints the Unicode codepoint, encoding representations (hex, octal, UTF-8, UTF-16), display width, Unicode name and aliases, case variants, and escape sequences. Characters can be looked up by literal form, by `U+` codepoint, by numeric code, or by control-character notation.It is written in Rust and useful for developers working with Unicode text or debugging encoding issues.
