DESCRIPTION

13       albatross is a command line tool for finding fonts that contain a given
14       (Unicode)  glyph.   It  relies on Fontconfig, a library for configuring
15       and customizing font access.
16
17       Albatross takes a list of glyphs as  input.   Three  formats  are  sup‐
18       ported:
19
20       #1     The  glyph  itself, e.g., ß (Eszett).  Internally, the tool con‐
21              verts it to the corresponding Unicode code point.
22
23       #2     The glyph as a Unicode code point in the  hexadecimal  notation,
24              e.g.,  0xDF.   The  0x  prefix is mandatory.  Note that the tool
25              takes the value as case insensitive, e.g., 0xDF is equal to 0xdf
26              (or any case combination thereof).
27
28       #3     The glyph as a Unicode code point using the multiset union nota‐
29              tion, e.g, U+DF.  The U+ prefix is mandatory.  Be  mindful  that
30              this notation expects an uppercase U.
