Hmm, yes this is a well-coded piece of OSXware, but I cannot agree with the happyness around.

Unicodechecker will only check STRINGS. I.e. it is helpful when you need to look up a value for a certain character or so - that is great but I personally would prefer this functionality more integrated in other programs or OSX itself, not in a seperated GUI.

However, what I desperately lack here is a conversion for FILES. UChecker is the most intelligent software I know when it comes to knowing how to convert, but it can't convert...

OKee, I'll search on for something that can change UTF-16 -> UTF-8 without garbling the special characters that happen to have a different encoding but do exist for both file types.

From detailed code point info to conversion to HTML, this gem has it all, in package better designed than many a shareware application. Wish there were more like it...

This is a wonderful utility and should be on the Mac of anyone who uses Unicode. It's also an excellent model of how to write a Mac OS X application, having all the bells and whistles a good Mac application should have.
