A standalone Window Server app for browsing curated sets of characters
and copying them to the clipboard for pasting into other apps.
- Four sets (Latin, Punctuation, Currency, Symbols) shown as a responsive,
scrollable tile grid with category tabs, a live preview/detail footer,
and a Copy button.
- Click a tile (or use arrow keys + Enter/Space) to select and copy; a
transient toast confirms the copy. Mouse wheel scrolls; Tab cycles sets.
- Styled with the MTK theme (accent, surfaces, rounded tiles) to match the
other Montauk apps, modeled on the calculator app.
The character set is deliberately the single-byte Windows-1252 range the
system font can render (the glyph cache only holds codepoints 0-255).
Copying writes the raw byte, so glyphs render identically here and in every
other single-byte-text Montauk app (copying UTF-8 would render as mojibake).
Registered in programs/GNUmakefile and scripts/install_apps.sh alongside
calculator; menu category "Applications", icon accessories-character-map.svg.
