textbits

Manglers

futhark

A short script for converting lower-case ASCII text to or from Futhark. Reads from stdin or reads from the named files.

klingon

A short script for converting ASCII text to or from Klingon text. Reads from stdin or reads from the named files. Note that this uses the private-use area, codes U+F8D0 to U+F8E9.

mathsym

Conversion between ASCII text and various other Latin glyph sets within Unicode. Reads from stdin or reads from the named files. Several possible glyph sets are available (use -h or --help to see the list).

tagchar

Convert between ASCII text and (invisible) tag text, adding or removing start and end markers as needed. (Yes, other than the markers, mathsym does this too. So what.) Reads from stdin or directly from the command line.

When converting to tag text, it is strongly recommended that you don't try to display the text in the terminal and instead pipe it somewhere useful, e.g. into a clipboard or selection via xsel or xclip.

Displayers

roman

Numbers to Roman numerals. Only handles 1 to 4999 at the moment. Defaults to upper-case ASCII but can output alternative forms: -l for lower-case ASCII, -U for upper-case numerals (Unicode), or -u for lower-case numerals.

unidump

Hex-dump utility which decodes UTF-8 sequences and displays the code points instead of the bytes making up the sequences. Invalid bytes are shown in inverse text or, if colour is not available, prefixed by ..

Text is read from stdin or from files listed on the command line.

You can control whether colour is used with the --colour option (the --color misspelling is also accepted). It takes values never, always and auto (colour is used if output is to a tty).

You can control whether the text dump is full Unicode or limited to ASCII with the --text option. It takes values ascii, unicode and auto (Unicode is used if output is to a file or the tty handles UTF-8).

Bonus: it handles the non-standard NUL (0xC0 0x80).
