There are at least two very convenient GUI ways do to this: (1) (g)ViM: assuming that you use UTF-8 to interptet Unicode and that your locale is properly set (xx_XX-UTF-8), you can paste the character (i.e.) =E2=80=9E=E4=BE=86=E2=80=9C, point the cursor over it,= and then: * key sequence 'ga' will return '<=E4=BE=86> 20358, Hex 4f86, Octal 476= 06'; * key sequence 'g8' will return 'e4 be 86' (actual bytes used to produce that letter; * key sequence '[Ctrl+v]u4f86' will print =E2=80=9E=E4=BE=86=E2=80=9C (= in Insert mode). (2) deskutils/gucharmap: GTK2 application, doesn't pull many Gnome dependencies, has highly professionally made database. 'View -> Find -> =E4=BE=86 -> Character details' will provide you with = the following: U+4F86 CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-4F86 General Character Properties Unicode category: Letter, Other =09 Various Useful Representations UTF-8: 0xE4 0xBE 0x86 UTF-16: 0x4F86 C octal escaped UTF-8: \344\276\206 XML decimal entity: 來 CJK Ideograph Information Definition in English: come, coming; return, returning Mandarin Pronunciation: LAI2 LAI4 Cantonese Pronunciation: lai4 loi4 loi6 Japanese On Pronunciation: RAI Japanese Kun Pronunciation: KURU Tang Pronunciation: *l=C9=99i l=C9=99i Korean Pronunciation: LAY Greetings. --=20 Nikola Le=C4=8Di=C4=87 :: =D0=9D=D0=B8=D0=BA=D0=BE=D0=BB=D0=B0 =D0=9B=D0=B5= =D1=87=D0=B8=D1=9B
