into a document
SYNOPSIS
gucharmap [--font=string] [gnome-std-options]
DESCRIPTION
The Character Map application enables you to select characters from a
character table, then combine the characters into a text string with
standard characters. You can insert the text string that you create
into other applications, such as text editor documents.
Character Map provides accented characters, mathematical symbols, spe-
cial symbols, and punctuation marks. Many of the characters are not
available on a standard keyboard.
charmap(1) and gnome-character-map(1) have been deprecated and are now
symbolic links to gucharmap.
