There's the script found here, that'll I'll paste:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
for range in $(fc-match --format='%{charset}\n' "$1"); do
    for n in $(seq "0x${range%-*}" "0x${range#*-}"); do
        printf "%04x\n" "$n"
    done
done | while read -r n_hex; do
    count=$((count + 1))
    printf "%-5s\U$n_hex\t" "$n_hex"
    [ $((count % 10)) = 0 ] && printf "\n"
done
printf "\n"

Beware that printf with \U isn't POSIX, so run it like this
Code:
bash ./ls-chars 'monospace'
