🦄 Unicorn

A Visual Studio Code extension that adds a status bar entry showing Unicode data for selected characters.

Demo

Watch the status bar entry in the bottom right of the window update with the Unicode name and code point of the current character as the cursor moves through the document.

This extension is currently in active development. See the roadmap for a list of current and planned features.
