utf8dump

Description

utf8dump interpretes stdin as a UTF-8 stream and dumps the codepoint and optionally name of each character to stdout.

For example, the title of Pike & Thompson's UTF-8 paper would be displayed as:

0048 H  0065 e  006c l  006c l  006f o  0020    0057 W  006f o  
0072 r  006c l  0064 d  000a .  006f o  0072 r  000a .  039a Κ
