About:
Unum is a versatile command-line utility for converting numbers between various bases including decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary. It also excels at transforming characters into their corresponding Unicode code points and HTML/XHTML entity references. This tool is invaluable for developers and web designers working with character encoding, debugging, and cross-platform data representation.
Key Features:

  • Interconverts characters and their Unicode code points
  • Transforms characters to and from HTML/XHTML entities
