Instead of the external "unicode" program mentioned there, you could
also use the unicode.vim plugin by Christian Brabandt, available at
vim.org. After installing it,
:echo unicode#FindUnicodeBy('DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL')
would give you a List of Dictionaries, one Dictionary for each letter
whose Unicode name contained that string, with all known properties of
that letter, including full Unicode name, hex and decimal codepoint,
digraph(s) if any, HTML entity/ies, and glyph. Of course, if you
wanted only the double-struck N, then
unicode#FindUnicodeBy('DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL N') would give you just
that.

I use that plugin almost exclusively for its :UnicodeName command
(which gives the same information in a more user-friendly format for
the character under the cursor) but I know that it has other commands
and functions, and its help is in the outstanding Vim tradition.

Best regards,
Tony.
