# unicoverage(1)

Print coverage of each Unicode Script

## NAME

unicoverage - Print coverage of each Unicode Script

## SYNOPSIS

**unicoverage** \[-i*input-file*\] \[-o*output-file*\] \[-n\]

## DESCRIPTION

**unicoverage** reads a GNU Unifont .hex font and uses data in **coverage.dat** (which must reside in the current directory).  The output is the percent coverage of each script listed in the coverage.dat file.  The Unicode code points in the input .hex file must be in ascending order.

## OPTIONS

- **-i**

  Specify the input file. The default is STDIN.

- **-n**

  Print the number of glyphs in each range instead of a percentage count.

- **-o**

  Specify the output file. The default is STDOUT.

## EXAMPLE

Sample usage:

unicoverage \< unifont.hex \>coverage.txt

## FILES

coverage.dat, \*.hex GNU Unifont files.
