I have a file with an unusual Unicode grapheme. I'd like to identify it, either by getting an info window directly in Sublime, or just by listing the codepoint(s) so I can search for them online.
In Vim, I'd use the ga
command to view the Unicode codepoint, or possibly g8
to view the bytes, and then google for that to get the name of the character and other relevant information.
Is there a way to get this information in Sublime? An equivalent to Vim's ga
would suffice, but a more elaborate solution that shows more information within Sublime itself (so I don't need to google) would be good. I'm open to installing a plugin to achieve this.

If you go to
File -> Reopen with Encoding -> Hexadecimal
you'll be able to get the hex codepoint from there. Unfortunately, Sublime's built-in hex viewer doesn't include a plain-text counterpart on the side, so unless the character is one of the only ones in the file, you might have a bit of a time with it. Instead, you might want to check out theHexViewer
plugin from facelessuser. It's much more of a full-featured hex viewer like you'd find in a standalone program, and should fit your needs quite nicely.
