# Unicode Inspector action for ActionClip

Show every selected Unicode code point.

## What it does

Iterates by Unicode scalar rather than UTF-16 code unit and labels spaces, tabs, and line breaks so invisible characters remain understandable.

function run(selected_text) {
  if (!selected_text) return "No characters selected.";
  return Array.from(selected_text).map((character) => {
    const value = character.codePointAt(0);
    const code = "U+" + value.toString(16).toUpperCase().padStart(4, "0");
    let label = character;
    if (character === " ") label = "SPACE";
    else if (character === "\n") label = "LINE FEED";
    else if (character === "\r") label = "CARRIAGE RETURN";
    else if (character === "\t") label = "TAB";
    return code + "  " + label;
  }).join("\n");
