NAME
       gucharmap,  charmap,  gnome-character-map  -  insert special characters
       into a document

SYNOPSIS
       gucharmap [--font=string] [gnome-std-options]

DESCRIPTION
       The Character Map application enables you to select characters  from  a
       character  table,  then	combine the characters into a text string with
       standard characters. You can insert the text  string  that  you	create
       into other applications, such as text editor documents.

       Character  Map provides accented characters, mathematical symbols, spe‐
       cial symbols, and punctuation marks. Many of  the  characters  are  not
       available on a standard keyboard.

       Note:   The  gucharmap  application  also  provides  a  library	called
       libgucharmap.  This library is  licensed	 under	GPL.  Please  see  the
       license	file at /usr/share/doc/SUNWgnome-character-map/COPYING.bz2 for
       implications when writing a program which uses this library.

       charmap(1) and gnome-character-map(1) have been deprecated and are  now
       symbolic links to gucharmap.
