The range of glyphs/characters being viewed can be filtered by Unicode range and/or language 'script'. When an individual glyph is selected, the dialog status area shows the glyph's Unicode value and script name.

There is a known limitation where the list of glyphs in the dialog are not yet rendered in the selected font, but still in the system font (this mainly is an issue for fonts non-standard characters). When a font with a large character repertoire is selected for viewing, such as a CJK font set to show 'all', the display may pause momentarily as previews are generated.
