Show a character's Unicode codepoint value in Eclipse

Question

I have a UTF-8 text file open in Eclipse, and I'd like to find out what a particular Unicode character is. Is there a function to display the Unicode codepoint of the character under the cursor?

Answer 1

I do not think there is yet a plugin doing exactly what you are looking for.

I know about a small plugin able to encode/decode a unicode sequence:

The sources (there is not even a fully built jar plugin yet) are here, with its associated tarball: you can import it as a PDE plugin project a,d test it in your eclipse.
