This is the README file for the utf8gen package.

This package contains the program utf8gen, a utility
for reading in hexadecimal numbers from an input source,
one per line, and printing them as UTF-8 byte sequences.

Several options allow various forms of output.  Consult
the utfgen(1) man page and the utfgen Texinfo file for
more information.  Read the man page with the command

     man utf8gen

following a "make install" step.  Read the Texinfo user
guide with the command

     info utf8gen

Information about the latest version is in the NEWS file.

If you downloaded this source package, instructions for
building and installation can be found in the INSTALL file
and license information is in the COPYING file.

If you are a downstream maintainer porting this package
to a new architecture, you can remove all files that
Autotools added with the command

     autoreconf -f -i && ./configure && make orig

In all other cases, typing the following command will
usually build the software on your system:

     ./configure && make

Then consult the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
