Tip #576: one call to generate all unicode "characters" from within vim


This is a small function to generate all unicode "characters".
It might be interesting to those who are familiar with CJK.

I modified Frank's idea, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/43907,
with a neat format. (Thank you, Frank)

Tony Mechelynck offered a great tip as how to work with utf-8 in
http://vim.sourceforge.net/tip_view.php?tip_id=246

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
function! GenerateUnicode()
  let i = 0
  while i <= 16*16*16*16
    let n = i
    let j = 0
    let h = ""
    while n
       let h = '0123456789ABCDEF'[n%16].h
       let n = n/16
    endwhile
    let c = h.' '
    while j<16
      let u = i+j
      let c = c.nr2char(u).' '
      let j = j+1
    endwhile
    $put = c
    let i = i+16
    if (i%(16*16) == 0)
      $put='----------------------------------------------------'
      $put='     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  A  B  C  D  E  F '
      $put='----------------------------------------------------'
    endif
  endwhile
endfunction
