Regex character names
You can search for character codes by specifying the character name in a regex search.
You must use the syntax [=cname=], where cname is a character name. The character code is determined in the following order:
- If the character name exists in the current locale, the corresponding character code is used.
- If the character name is one byte, the name is used as the code.
- If the character name is listed in the following table, the corresponding character code is used.
- Otherwise, the character name was not found, and an error is returned.
