unicode range generator

I made a simple utility for generating unicode range for actionscript. Since I use FD over Flash these days, I tend to use more of scripted embedding for fonts. And I just couldn’t bother to remember any of those unicode codes!

Why bother to make this? ?Well if its English based site, “Basic Latin” should be suitable, but when its Japanese then its a different story. ?I wanted to specify every unique word to limit the file size.

Thanks to jQuery. Couldn’t be any easier.

[EDIT]

Seems options like “Japanese (All)” doesn’t work on IE6. ?I don’t know why but maybe loop is too big?

    Awesome, but is it a bug that it often starts at U+0000?

    for example: ABↃ gives the range: U+0000-U+0042,U+2183 (43 characters)
    happens on the Japanese presets too, so im not sure if it was supposed to be that way or not.

    still very useful for what im doing though, thanks.

    Nice Tool, might come in handy. But options for different european languages, like german or french, would be nice.
