        I guess given the “copying” part, the request is more along the
        lines of, say:

(let ((i #x100))
  (while (< i #x180)
    (when (zerop (mod i #x20))
      (unless (eq ?\n (preceding-char))
        (insert ?\n))
      (insert (format "%06x" i) ?\s))
    (insert ?\s i)
    (setq i (+ 1 i))))
000100  Ā ā Ă ă Ą ą Ć ć Ĉ ĉ Ċ ċ Č č Ď ď Đ đ Ē ē Ĕ ĕ Ė ė Ę ę Ě ě Ĝ ĝ Ğ ğ

        I doubt we really need a file for that, though; rather, some
        kind of a “Unicode browser” facility.  (Not entirely unlike
        list-colors-display, but with a dynamic list.)
