 # charsel
 A very simple comand line tool to make a shortcut to a special characther. 
-It takes the input of a .char file, then puts it into a table and waits for your input. Once you put in your shortcut key, it prints the special character then copies it to the clipboard.
-A .char file is just two columns with the shortcut on the left, then a separator, then the special charachter to be copied.
