    For the "list of characters with a given property", you can look at
    http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/index.jsp under Properties. It uses a list
    interface rather than a chart interface. For example:

    http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=[:Bidi_Class=European_Terminator:]
    or a more complicated case:

    http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=[[:Terminal_Punctuation=True:]%26[:Block=Arabic:]]
    (The %26 is an &).
