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.
