I seem to be able to basically extract my charset from LC_CTYPE with just od -A n -t c <LC_CTYPE | tsort Probably you've tried it already, but I'd never heard of it before and I was reading through info and it reminded me of this - and it seems to work. There's also ptx but I think it's less relevant. Anyway, if you haven't tried it and decide to do so - fair warning - it does require a little patience. lehman.cuny.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?tsort+1

code points don't make sense in all locales.

Thats very good! That means you dont need perl at all, i think.

Yeah - you can get that info parsed - I just finally got around to wrapping up my edit. There are several commands you probably already have installed - at least I did, and I didn't even know about them. I hope it helps. Specifically recode and uconv can give you what you what you say you're looking for. Possibly even just luit and od I guess...

@derobert, yes, while locale (at least the GNU one) retrieves many of the informations stored in many of the categories, things it doesn't are the most important ones in LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE. I wonder if there's a hidden API to retrieve that information or uncompile the locale information.

For most locales it ultimately comes from the LC_CTYPE stuff in (with glibc) /usr/share/i18n/locales/i18n ... which of course comes largely from the Unicode Character Database. Of course, it would be nice to have a command
