Character Map (Windows)

Character Map (charmap.exe) is an applet included with Microsoft Windows operating systems which can be used to inspect the characters in any installed font, to check what keyboard input is used to select those characters, and to copy characters to the clipboard in lieu of typing them in.

The "Advanced view" check box can be used to inspect the font according to different encodings (code pages), including Unicode code ranges, and to locate particular characters by their Unicode code point.
