Re: New tool unidump

[Andrey Lukyanov]

apropos unidump:

It would be nice to add the option of printing not only numbers, but also
character names and other info from the NamesList.txt file.

I am using a homemade program at my computer:

$ typecode fc25 
66 63 32 35 

$ typecode -l fc25 
0066LATIN SMALL LETTER F
0063LATIN SMALL LETTER C
0032DIGIT TWO
0035DIGIT FIVE

$ typecode -f fc25 
0066LATIN SMALL LETTER F
0063LATIN SMALL LETTER C
0032DIGIT TWO
~ 0032 FE0E text style
~ 0032 FE0F emoji style
0035DIGIT FIVE
~ 0035 FE0E text style
~ 0035 FE0F emoji style

I maintain a list of various Unicode tools and resources at
unicode.yea.rs and always welcome new additions!

Hi,

for my work on codepoints.net and Emojipedia I found myself repeatedly
in a place, where I needed some tool like hexdump to inspect the content
of a string. However, instead of raw bytes I am more interested in the
code points that the string is composed of. So I wrote this tool.


Is somebody maintaining a list of such utilities?

There is a page

http://www.unicode.org/resources/online-tools.html

but I remember that earlier a page on the site used to be links to the  
programs mentioned in 2012 "Tool to convert characters to character  
names", in particular to Bill Poser's uniutils  
(http://billposer.org/Software/unidesc.html) and the orphaned unihist  
by a student of mine (https://bitbucket.org/jsbien/unihistext). I'm  
unable to find them now.


Best regards

Janusz

[Manish Goregaokar]

https://r12a.github.io/uniview/

https://r12a.github.io/apps/conversion/

are excellent tools for this, as well, if you're in a situation where
you can copy into a web form.

This looks useful for commandline stuff, though, thanks!
