    <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.

        This package uses two unversioned downloads. You may want to rename
        these to a versioned name, e.g. <filename>UCD-15.zip</filename> to
        make upgrades easier.

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para>
      <parameter>--strip</parameter>: Although the package defaults to a release
      build without debug information, without this switch there will be some
      debug information in the binaries.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>-Ducd_path=./ucd</parameter>: This points to where the extracted
      main Unicode data files, and the zipped Unihan archive can be found.
    </para>

    <para>
      <command>rm  -fv /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.Charmap.enums.xml</command>:
      Old versions of this package installed an obsolete file that prevents the
      program from running, as if the main schema has not been installed.
      Forcibly removing works even if the old file is not present.
    </para>

    <para>
      <parameter>-Ddocs=false</parameter>: This allows the package to build even
      if <application>gtk-doc</application> has not been installed. Remove this
      if you have installed that and wish to build the documentation.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>-Dgir=false</option>: Use this if you have not installed
      &gobject-introspection;.
    </para>
