ah, nice plugin; and the first time it fetches the UnicodeData.txt file
from the Unicode Consortium's site. :-)

After some playing with it, I notice that characters not in the list
(e.g. U+3102) give errors:

Error detected while processing function unicode#GetUniChar:
line 38:
E118: Too many arguments for function: add
line 47:
E684: list index out of range: 0
E116: invalid arguments for function printf("'%s' U+%04X %s %s %s",
glyph, values(dict)[0], keys(dict)[0], dchar, html))
E116: Invalid arguments for function add

All in all, I like it, in spite of these errors.


Best regards,
Tony.
