I don't know of any such resource, but perhaps writing a perl script to do figure that out would be the way to go? Have it read plenty of text in your target language and calculate the frequency of each symbol.

You'd have to ensure that you're reading plaintext, though, and not markup or something like that. The following would populate %symbol with a frequency count. You'd just pass it a list of files on the command line. What you'd do with the data from there would be up to you.

while ($line = <>) { $symbol{ $_ }++ for ( split //, $line ); }

Cheers,
Ovid

Update: mdillon had a good point. Here's a rewrite:

while ($line = <>) { for ( split //, $line ) { $symbol{ $_ }++; $total++; } }
Or, the fun method: use my first code and add the following after the loop:
$total = eval (join '+', values %symbol); # :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
