# uniwhat

Reads standard input, and printing out the unicode characters.

$ echo "✨Hello! ä€" | uniwhat
character byte UTF-32 encoded as glyph name

Or use standard arguments rather than stdin:

$ uniwhat foo bar

0 0 000066 66 f LATIN SMALL LETTER F
1 1 00006F 6F o LATIN SMALL LETTER O

5 5 000061 61 a LATIN SMALL LETTER A
6 6 000072 72 r LATIN SMALL LETTER R

Inspired by [uniname](https://manpages.debian.org/testing/uniutils/uniname.1.en.html), which hasn't been maintained in years, so lacks recent versions of unicode.
