Browse

Browse Unicode by numeric location or by a named block. From the Inspector, use these shortcuts:

Planes and Ranges

This path explores Unicode by code point value:

Plane → Range → Code Point → Inspector

A plane contains 65,536 code points. Sauva divides each plane into ranges of 256 code points for browsing. These ranges are numeric subdivisions, independent of named Unicode blocks.

Blocks

This path explores named blocks from the Unicode Character Database:

Block → Code Point → Inspector

Blocks have different sizes and may leave gaps between them. When opening the block list from a code point in a gap, Sauva selects the next block.

Operations

• Use j / k or Down / Up in lists.
• Use h, j, k, l or the arrow keys in a code point grid.
• Press Enter to open the next level or inspect the selected code point.
• Press g / G to jump to the first / last item. In a grid, this is the first / last code point in the range or block.
• Use Ctrl-U / Ctrl-D for larger steps in ranges, blocks, and code point grids.

Backspace returns to the previous browse level. At the level where browsing was opened, it returns to the Inspector. Esc cancels browsing immediately and returns to the Inspector without changing its selected code point. Press q to quit.

Code point grids include unassigned and special code points, so an entry may have no visible glyph. The Inspector provides the available property details for each entry.
