Additional example, this character's name don't show any connection to
its script.
How do you get its script symbol?
position: 870 of 1031 (84%), column: 65
character: 😠 (displayed as 😠) (codepoint 128544,
#o373040, #x1f620)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
code point in charset: 0x1F620
syntax: w which means: word
category: .:Base
buffer code: #xF0 #x9F #x98 #xA0
file code: #xF0 #x9F #x98 #xA0
(encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
xft:-unknown-Symbola-normal-normal-semi-condensed-*-15-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1
(#x1ADE)
Character code properties: customize what to show
name: ANGRY FACE
general-category: So (Symbol, Other)
decomposition: (128544) ('😠')
