Unicode to UTF-8 Converter

A Python script to convert Unicode code points (decimal, U+hex, or ranges) to UTF-8 escape sequences and vice versa.

Features

• Convert Unicode code points (e.g., 61572, U+F084, U+F000-U+F0FF) to UTF-8 escape sequences (e.g., \xEF\x82\xA4).
• Reverse mode: Convert UTF-8 escape sequences to Unicode code points.
• Output formats: Plain text, JSON, CSV, or C string array.
• Customizable output fields (e.g., codepoint, hex, unicode, escape, c_string, char).
• Save output to a file with .txt, .json, .csv, or .c extension.

Usage

./unicode2utf8.py [codes] [options]

Examples

• Convert a single code point:

  ./unicode2utf8.py U+F084

  Output: U+F084 \xEF\x82\xA4

• Convert a range:

  ./unicode2utf8.py U+F000-U+F002

• Reverse mode:

  ./unicode2utf8.py --reverse '\xEF\x82\xA4'

• Output as JSON:

  ./unicode2utf8.py --json U+F084

• Save to file:

  ./unicode2utf8.py --out output.csv --csv U+F084

Options

• --reverse, -r: Convert UTF-8 escape sequences to Unicode code points.
• --c-string: Output as C-style string (e.g., "\xEF\x82\xA4").
• --table: Output as a C string array.
• --table-name NAME: Set C array name (default: icons).
• --hex: Include hex code (e.g., 0xF084).
• --char: Include the actual character (if displayable).
• --json: Output in JSON format.
• --csv: Output in CSV format.
• --fields FIELDS: Comma-separated fields to output (e.g., unicode,escape,char).
• --out FILE: Save output to a file.
