I have a Javascript chart program at
http://www.macchiato.com/unicode/charts.html that you can use on any
characters that the OS will let you cut and paste.
If you paste in any character and hit ENTER, it will display the hex. It
also goes to the chart with that character, from which you can also see
the UTF-8 and UTF-16 hex values. [In case you don't have a Unicode font,
if you click on the GIFs checkbox, the chart will display with the
Unicode glyphs from the charts. This mostly works -- John Jenkins is
hard at work to update the glyphs to a full set.]
