App::Uni - Command-line utility to grep UnicodeData.txt

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This is a re-implementation of a program written by Audrey Tang in Taiwan. I used that program for years before deciding I wanted to add a few features, which I did by rewriting from scratch.

That program, in turn, was a re-implementation of a same-named program Larry copied to me, which accompanied Audrey for years. However, that program was lost during a hard disk failure, so she coded it up from memory.

Thank-you, Larry, for everything. ♡
