Thanks, as I'm on KDE desktop I've installed "kcharselect" it does the 
same thing. It was a bit hard to find it, first I've looked for "Similar 
packages" section in the "gucharmap" web page ¹  but I didn't find 
nothing related to QT applications then I performed an "apt search kde 
char" and I found it.

There is a thing that it hurts me a little, if you look at the section 
"Similar package" in the "kcharselect" web page ²  you'll find 
"gucharmap" but this is *not* true vice-versa.

Which guys takes care of section "Similar packages" into packages web 
pages? I think "kcharselect" must be added to "Similar packages" section 
of "gucharmap"!

Cheers,
