UNICODE(1) UNICODE(1)
NAME
unicode - interpret Unicode characters
SYNOPSIS
unicode [ -nt ] hexmin-hexmax
unicode [ -t ] hex ...
unicode [ -n ] char ...
DESCRIPTION
Unicode converts between UTF and character values from the
Unicode Standard (see utf(6)).
If given a range of hexadecimal numbers, unicode prints a
table of the specified Unicode characters including their
values and UTF representations. Otherwise, it translates
from UTF to numeric value or numeric value to UTF, depending
on the appearance of the supplied text. If converting to
UTF, the characters are printed one per line.
The options are:
-n Forces numeric output to avoid ambiguity with numeric
characters.
-t Output a single string containing the specified charac-
ters, rather than one per line.
The output of unicode might not be helpful if the characters
printed are not available in the current font.
EXAMPLES
unicode p
Print the hex value of p.
unicode 2200-22f1
Print a table of miscellaneous mathematical symbols.
