Simple C# Unicode helper console application.
Unicoder is a small tool to quickly print Unicode information about text or file input. It is mildly useful to show the characters used, along with their Unicode blocks and codepoints.
Unicoder can also dump UTF-8 hex output to help match text data with raw file data.
