The only reasonable way to search for a code point is to enter it in the search
field. Using the hex/dec information of the selected item to search for
something would be error-prone and hard to understand. 

We have to detect "U+<number>" and switch the search respectively. No further
modification to the UI needed.

I could also imagine a filter for the font list that removes fonts that do not
contain the code point or the name entered at search.
