uniutils-2.27p4

Unicode utilities

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Uniutils consists of five programs for finding out what is in a Unicode file. uniname defaults to printing the character offset of each character, its byte offset, its hex code value, its encoding, the glyph itself, and its name. unidesc reports the character ranges to which different portions of the text belong. It can also be used to identify Unicode encodings (e.g. UTF-16be) flagged by magic numbers. unihist generates a histogram of the characters in its input, which must be encoded in UTF-8 Unicode. ExplicateUTF8 is intended for debugging or for learning about Unicode. It determines and explains the validity of a sequence of bytes as a UTF8 encoding. unireverse is a filter that reverses UTF-8 strings character-by- character (as opposed to byte-by-byte).
