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.
