i did try writing some code to try to output a unicode table, or at least a short form of it for codes up to U+07FF. the result was a mess on the screen, among quite many codes that printed something legible. i did this with a loop for code in range(0x0800): and encoded the result from chr(code) to UTF-8 and wrote each character, one at a time, directly to the terminal, with output around it to try to make a table structure. it was not pretty. so i am trying to see what more i can do. i don't know how complete the terminal program or the fonts it uses are but have gotten double-wide CJK characters many times. i will have to figure how how best to display many things in a dump output. the python unicode database that stranac referred me too looks like it would be useful.
