utfout

Utility to produce UTF-8 (Unicode) output

This package contains a command-line tool that can produce UTF-8 (Unicode) strings in various ways and direct them to standard output, standard error or direct to the terminal without the need for shell support. Strings can be repeated, delayed, randomly-generated, written to arbitrary file descriptors, interspersed with other characters and generated using ranges. Printf(1)-style escape sequences are supported along with extended escape sequences. utfout(1) Sits somewhere between echo(1) and printf(1).
