+(ASCII) character table. It knows about a wide variety of hex, binary, octal,
+Teletype mnemonic, ISO/ECMA code point, slang names, XML entity names, and
+other representations. Given any one on the command line, it will try to
+display all others. Called with no arguments it displays a handy small ASCII
+chart.")
