UNIHEXFILL(1)

💖 UNIHEXFILL(1) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're doing the General Commands Manual thing and honestly? this one's a bop. it's unihexfill, and she's here to make you a whole range of Unifont 4- or 6-digit hexadecimal glyphs. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

unihexfill — generate a range of Unifont 4- or 6-digit hexadecimal glyphs 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unihexfill < unassigned-ranges.txt > filler-glyphs.hex

that's it. that's the whole vibe. in from one file, out to another. 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so unihexfill is a shell script — yes, a humble little shell script, and she ATE — that reads a list of code point ranges from STDIN and produces filler glyphs of 4- or 6-digit code points on STDOUT. literally just in-and-out, main character energy.

now, the format of the input file? it's a lil combo plate of three things, bestie:

• comment lines — and by convention these start with a semicolon (;)
• single code points, one per line
• start/stop pairs of code points on one line, separated by a space

start and stop code points are strings of hexadecimal digits, and by convention they're either four or six digits. iykyk. 🔥

here's the fun part: unihexfill invokes unihexgen for each non-comment line in its input file. and then it's giving math:

• if a codepoint is less than or equal to "FFFF" (i.e., 0xFFFF), a four-digit hexadecimal number is encoded within the corresponding Unifont glyph as two digits on each of two rows.
• otherwise, a six-digit hexadecimal number is encoded as three digits on each of two rows.

two rows either way, babe. symmetry. iconic. 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• there are no options. none. zero. she needs nothing from you except your input file. periodt. 💖

---

🦋 FILES 🦋

• *.txt as input
• *.hex as output

---

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

okay so in the Unifont source package, the file font/plane01/Makefile generates Unicode Plane 1 hexadecimal filler glyphs of unassigned code points within assigned scripts with this single-line command:

../../bin/unihexfill < unassigned-ranges.txt > unassigned.hex

one line. one command. slay. 🌈

💀 BUGS 💀

no known real bugs exist — love that for her — except that this software does not perform extensive error checking on its input file. any line that appears to begin with a hexadecimal digit is fed to unihexgen. so like... she's trusting. maybe too trusting. be careful what you feed her bestie 😭
