Font Awesome

[Charles E Buchwald]

So for those of us without FontLab Studio, is there a Mac utility that is useful for showing unicode values?
Or perhaps someone has created a LC stack for doing so?

I was just looking at the Character Viewer built in to OS X Lion, but it does not show unicode values... unless of course I'm missing something, which is probable.
