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  charac-
     ters  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, special 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.
