       -c     Suppress printing of counts and percentages.

       -g     Suppress printing of glyphs.

       -h     Print usage information.

       -u     Suppress printing of the Unicode code as text.

       -v     Print version information.

unihist  generates a histogram of the characters in its input, which must be encoded in UTF-8 Unicode. By
       default, for each character it prints the frequency of the character as a percentage of  the  total,  the
       absolute  number  of  tokens  in  the  input,  the  UTF-32 code in  hexadecimal, and, if the character is
       displayable, the glyph itself as UTF-8 Unicode. Command line  flags  allow  unwanted  information  to  be
       suppressed.   In  particular,  note  that  by  suppressing  the  percentages and counts it is possible to
       generate a list of the unique characters in the input.

       Output is produced ordered by character code. To sort it in  descending  order  of  frequency,  pipe  the
       output into the command:

              sort -k1 -n -r

       By default, unihist handles all of Unicode. To reduce memory usage and increase speed, it may be compiled
       so as to handle only the Basic Multilingual Plane (plane 0) by defining BMPONLY.
