About:
Uniutils is a suite of command-line utilities designed to manipulate and analyze Unicode text. It provides tools to convert between different Unicode encodings, extract character properties, and inspect text at the byte level. This suite is essential for developers and linguists working with internationalized text.

Key Features:

Converts text between various Unicode encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16, etc.)
Analyzes and displays Unicode character properties
Includes tools for decoding and inspecting binary Unicode data
Lightweight, fast, and scriptable command-line interface

Use Cases:

Converting legacy Unicode files to UTF-8 for modern web applications
Debugging encoding issues in internationalized software
Analyzing character data for linguistic research

Alternatives:

iconv – Standard tool for general character set conversion, but lacks deep Unicode property analysis.
uconv – Part of ICU library, offers powerful conversion but is a heavier dependency.
