# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

**unihexgen** produces unifont.hex entries in the Unicode code point range *startpoint* to *endpoint* (specified as the two command-line arguments). Output is to STDOUT. If a codepoint is less than or equal to "FFFF" (i.e., 0xFFFF), a four-digit hexadecimal number is encoded within the corresponding Unifont glyph as two digits on each of two rows. Otherwise, a six-digit hexadecimal number is encoded as three digits on each of two rows.
