[about]
This package provides five Unicode-related utilities:

uniname -  By default, "uniname" prints  the  character offset of each
character,  its byte offset,  its  hex-code value,  its encoding,  the
associated glyph, and its name.  Command line options allow  undesired
information to be suppressed and the Unicode range to be added.  Other
options permit a specified number of bytes or  characters to be  skip-
ped.

"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.  By default, for each character,  it
prints the  frequency of the character as a  percentage of  the total,
the absolute number of tokens in the input,  the UTF-32 code  in hexa-
decimal,  and,  if the character is displayable,  the glyph  itself as
UTF-8 Unicode.  Command-line flags  allow  unwanted information  to be
suppressed.  In particular,  note that by suppressing the  percentages
and counts, it is possible to generate a list of the unique characters
in the input.

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.

"utf8lookup"  is a  shell script which invokes "uniname" to provide an
easy way to look up the  character name  corresponding to  a codepoint
from the command line.

Note:  The "unidesc" package  requires the  external utility  "ascii2-
binary".
