Miloslav Nic has
announced
the Zvon Character
Search, a simple tool that displays all you need to know about any Unicode
character or HTML/MathML entities.
Based upon the Unicode
Character Database
and XML
specification this tool also lists entities from the
HTML 4.01
and MathML 2
specifications.
For instance, if you enter " ", you will discover that its name is
"NO-BREAK SPACE", from the Unicode blocks "C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement",
subblock ISO 8859-1 (aka Latin-1), categories "Separator, Space," but also
that this character can be used in XML documents (but not as name of elements
and attributes) and is known as entity "nbsp" for both HTML and MathML, and
as entity "NonBreakingSpace" for MathML.
This is an interactive and useful addition to the
Zvon Character Reference.
