A script that generates all Unicode code points and prints them to stdout. Can be used to generate HTML pages which can be printed out into posters.
This work was made as part of Modifiying The Universal, a workshop and presentation by Femke Snelting, Peggy Pierrot & Roel Roscam Abbing during *.exe (ver0.2) at Malmö University. April 2016.
##Usage To print out all Unicode characters:
./unicode_poster.py
By default some characters are omitted because they reverse the reading direction of the characters that follow.
To print out all characters:
./unicode_poster.py -a
To print out all Unicode characters and the names of each block:
./unicode_poster.py -b
By default the script leaves out some Unicode planes (2 SIP, PUA-A, PUA-B) because they reperesent a LOT of extra code points without glyphs
To add these extra planes anyway:
./unicode_poster.py -e
To print using HTML formatting:
./unicode_poster.py -H
The above are all combinable:
./unicode_poster -Heab
Download all the sources and exit the program:
./unicode_poster.py -d
So to make an HTML page it is sufficient to do the following:
./unicode_postery.py -H > my_poster.html
This repository contains a CSS file to style the resulting HTML pages. This style sheet is used to highlight all code points considered to be emoji.
##Fonts Some fonts recommended to display as much of it as possible:
Symbola, Aegyptus, MingLiU, Code2000, Code2001, Code2002, Musica, unifont, LastResort
##PDF Something along these lines worked for me on Debian:
Open the HTML page in a browser (I used Chromium).
Using the print dialog (ctrl+p) make a custom paper size, in my case 1220x5000mm @ 72dpi.
Select your custom paper size, print to file.
Now you have the PDF of Death, with embedded fonts and characters.
Flatten it using something like Imagemagick: convert death.pdf flattened.pdf
