jgmenuunicode - An overview of jgmenu unicode usage
.SH INTRODUCTION
.PP
Unicode characters can be displayed by jgmenu.
They can be used in:
.IP \[bu] 2
CSV data
.PD 0
.P

.IP \[bu] 2
Widgets
.PD 0

.IP \[bu] 2
Config file
.PP
Throughout this document, unicode code points will be referred to by
writing \f[C]u+\f[R] followed by their hexadecimal number.
In examples, u+1234 will be used.
.SH UNICODE CHARACTERS IN TERMINAL
.PP
Terminals handle unicode differently.
For full support, avoid xterm and urxvt, and opt for something libvte
based such as sakura or gnome-terminal.
In a terminal, you can produce a unicode character by issuing
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
printf \[aq]%b\[aq] \[aq]\[rs]\[rs]u1234\[aq]
\f[R]
.fi
.PP
In libvte terminals, you can press ctrl+shift+u and then enter the hex
sequence.
.SH UNICODE CHARACTERS IN VIM
.PP
Whilst in insert mode, press ctrl+V and then type u1234.
.PP
Use the command \f[C]ga\f[R] to show the hex value of the character
under the cursor.
.SH VARIATION SELECTORS
.PP
Some unicode characters can be rendered as either emoji or text.
Special invisible unicode characters called variation selectors can be
used to force either presentation.
Append with the text presentation selector (u+fe0e) or emoji
presentation selector (u+fe0f), to force text or emoji respectively.
For example:
.PP
u+1f50d u+fe0f \[u1F50D]
.PD 0
.P
.PD
u+1f50d u+fe0e \[u1F50D]\[uFE0E]
