The Unicode Utilities are a set of programs
for manipulating and analyzing Unicode text. 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. Command line options allow undesired information to be suppressed and the Unicode range to be added. unidesc reports the character ranges to which different portions of the text belong. unihist generates a histogram of the characters in its input. ExplicateUTF8 is intended for debugging or for learning about Unicode. It determines and explains the validity of a sequence of bytes as a UTF-8 encoding. unirev reverses UTF-8 strings.

Changes:
This release adds a new utility, unifuzz, which
generates test input for programs expecting
Unicode. In addition to generating random
sequences of characters, unifuzz can generate a
character from each range, tokens of various
potentially problematic characters and sequences,
very long lines, strings with embedded nulls, and
ill-formed UTF-8.
