Description

albatross  is  a  command line tool for finding fonts that contain a given (Unicode) glyph.  It relies on
       Fontconfig, a library for configuring and customizing font access.

       Albatross takes a list of glyphs as input.  Three formats are supported:

       #1     The glyph itself, e.g., ß (Eszett).  Internally, the tool converts it to the corresponding Unicode
              code point.

       #2     The glyph as a Unicode code point in the hexadecimal notation,  e.g.,  0xDF.   The  0x  prefix  is
              mandatory.   Note  that  the tool takes the value as case insensitive, e.g., 0xDF is equal to 0xdf
              (or any case combination thereof).

       #3     The glyph as a Unicode code point using the multiset union notation, e.g, U+DF.  The U+ prefix  is
              mandatory.  Be mindful that this notation expects an uppercase U.
