Re: How to handle non-ascii characters?

One or the other of you may be interested in the unicode.vim plugin,
https://vim.sourceforge.io/scripts/script.php?script_id=2822

It has several useful features related to digraphs and Unicode; one of
them is the :UnicodeName command which tells you a lot of information
for the character under the cursor and its composing characters if
any: for instance for я́ (Cyrillic lowercase ya with combining acute
accent) it tells me:

'я' U+044F Dec:1103 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YA (ja) я
' ' U+0301 Dec:769 COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT ́

The part in parentheses is the digraph (if any, and all of them if
there are several) for that character. If there exists a predefined
symbolic entity you see that instead of the hex entity at the end, for
instance for — (em dash):

'—' U+2014 Dec:8212 EM DASH (-M) —

An optional register argument tells it a register to save the message
(similar to :yank etc.).

Best regards,
Tony.
