    <para>
      <application>Gucharmap</application> is a Unicode character map and
      font viewer. It allows you to browse through all the available Unicode
      characters and categories for the installed fonts, and to examine their
      detailed properties. It is an easy way to find the character you might
      only know by its Unicode name or code point.

    <para>
      <command>LIBS="-ldl" ...</command>: Allows linking some system libraries.
      This is currently broken in version 10.0.4.

      <parameter>--with-unicode-data=download</parameter>: This switch forces
      the build process to download the <application>Unicode</application> data
      instead of trying to look for it locally.

    <para>
      <parameter>--enable-vala</parameter>: This switch enables building of the
      <application>Vala</application> bindings (auto-detection of
      <command>vapigen</command> is currently broken). Remove if you don't
