       unicharset_extractor - Reads box or plain text files to extract the unicharset.

       Indic/Khmer/Myanmar) 3=pure unicode (use for Arabic/Hebrew/Thai/Tibetan)

DESCRIPTION

       Tesseract needs to know the set of possible characters it can output. To generate the unicharset data
       file, use the unicharset_extractor program on training pages bounding box files or a plain text file:

           unicharset_extractor fontfile_1.box fontfile_2.box ...

       The unicharset will be put into the file ./unicharset if no output filename is provided.

       NOTE Use the appropriate norm_mode based on the language.
