It would be nice that the [statusbar template](https://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#statusbar-templates) could get new placeholders for **character position** (see #2733) and **character code and/or name**:
Above text line « ` // ö` » consists of 6 characters (the 6th one having the caret cursor):
1. U+0009 <control> : CHARACTER TABULATION, HORIZONTAL TABULATION [HT, TAB] : horizontal tabulation (HT), tab 2. U+002F SOLIDUS : slash 3. U+002F SOLIDUS : slash 4. U+0020 SPACE [SP] 5. U+006F LATIN SMALL LETTER O 6. **U+0308 COMBINING DIAERESIS : double dot above, umlaut, Greek dialytika, double derivative**
