For when you ask yourself "how do I escape that"?

Prints escape sequences for unicode graphemes

It seems like every other day I'm looking up what the escape sequence for a unicode grapheme is in various web languages. And I'm also trying to learn Rust. So I wrote a tool in Rust.

Install & Use

$ cargo install how-do-i-escape
$ how-do-i-escape §
css  = "\00A7"
html = §
js   = "\u00A7"

What I'm thinking for 1.0

• Check code coverage is working properly
• Prefer HTML entities if one exists
• Improve output readability (maybe with colour)
• Try and reduce the time it takes to run cargo install
• Test against stable, beta and nightly Rust
• Read spec to figure out how graphemes > FFFF are supposed to work
• Use HTML entities that are made of two code points
