NAME
ExplicateUTF8 - Explain the status of a sequence of bytes as a UTF8
encoding
SYNOPSIS
ExplicateUTF8 ((-o <byte offset>) <file name>)
DESCRIPTION
ExplicateUTF8 examines its input and determines whether it begins with
a valid UTF8 Unicode sequence. If the sequence is invalid, it explains
why. If the sequence is valid, it explains why the sequence is valid,
gives the equivalent UTF-32 code, and explains how this value was
computed.
If no input file name is supplied, ExplicateUTF8 reads from the
standard input.
COMMAND LINE FLAGS
-h Print usage message.
-o <byte offset>
Skip the first <byte offset> bytes of the input.
