💖 UNIFONTKSX(1) — the unifontksx page, bestie edition 💖

okay so hi!! welcome to unifontksx, a little icon from the General Commands Manual (section 1, iykyk). it does exactly one thing and it does it slayfully, and honestly? obsessed. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

unifontksx — extract Hangul syllables that comprise KS X 1001:1992 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unifontksx < input-font.hex > output-font.hex

that's it. that's the whole vibe. stdin in, stdout out, no flags, no drama, no cap. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea: unifontksx reads a Unifont-format .hex font file from STDIN and writes a Unifont .hex file containing a subset to STDOUT.

and what subset, you ask? bestie. the subset that gets output only contains the 2,350 syllables that comprise Korean Standard KS X 1001:1992. yes, exactly 2,350. not 2,349, not 2,351. we are precise in this house. ✨

these syllables are extracted from the Unicode Hangul Syllables block, U+AC00..U+D7A3. so like, out of that whole big block, this tool goes "mm, only the KS X 1001:1992 ones, thank you." 🫶

and why would you want that?? because it lets a font designer focus on those syllables that are most common in modern Hangul usage during font development. you're not out here drawing every single syllable ever, you're drawing the ones people actually use. main character energy, honestly. 👑
