Description
It would be useful to be able to display a table of non-ascii characters used in the input.
For each unicode code point, it should show the name of the character.
It could also show the category or group the character falls into, and its script.
Here is a list of properties defined in unicode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_character_property

Research direction
Start by locating the command-line input and output path in this Rust utility, then determine how existing options and Unicode data are handled. The work is done when an option displays a table for non-ASCII code points with each character's name, with category or script information if supported by the agreed scope.
