NAME
       ExplicateUTF8 - Explain the status of a sequence of bytes as a UTF8 encoding

SYNOPSIS
       ExplicateUTF8 ((-o <byte offset>) <file name>)

DESCRIPTION
       ExplicateUTF8  examines	its  input  and  determines  whether  it begins with a valid UTF8 Unicode sequence. If the sequence is invalid, it
       explains why. If the sequence is valid, it explains why the sequence is valid, gives the equivalent UTF-32  code,  and  explains  how  this
       value was computed.

       If no input file name is supplied, ExplicateUTF8 reads from the standard input.

COMMAND LINE FLAGS
       -h     Print usage message.

       -o <byte offset>
	      Skip the first <byte offset> bytes of the input.

       -v     Print version information.
