utf8conv v1.0
The hex to UTF-8 convertor
--------------------------
utf8conv was designed to fill a need that I had to convert arbitrary Unicode
values into UTF-8 format.

The latest version should always be available from my web page:
http://www.fibrespeed.net/~mbabcock/code/

utf8conv reads its data from standard input as hexidecimal values such as
4d2f or 2a6.  Prefixes such as 0x and suffixes such as 'h' are ignored.  Only
the first value on each line is converted.  This may change in the future.

Command-line options include:
  -h   a quick help screen
  -q   be as quiet as possible
  -r   print raw Unicode bytes
  -s   display Unicode character names
  -v   be more verbose

-q is useful if you simply want to type in hex values and get back the UTF-8
byte sequences.  The -r (raw) option works well if you are running the program
in a UTF-8 aware environment as you ought to see the character rendered on
screen after its UTF-8 value (both are shown).  Adding -s will show the name
for the given character according to the Unicode standard.  A PERL program
is included that converts the UnicodeData.txt table into a usable C header
file.

I've decided to wrap this program with a Gnome program written in Python in
the near future.  This is the UI so far; feel free to work on it and send me
modifications or suggestions.
