Or use standard arguments rather than stdin:

	$ uniwhat foo bar
	character   byte  UTF-32  encoded as     glyph    name
			0      0  000066  66               f      LATIN SMALL LETTER F
			1      1  00006F  6F               o      LATIN SMALL LETTER O
			2      2  00006F  6F               o      LATIN SMALL LETTER O
			3      3  000020  20                      SPACE
			4      4  000062  62               b      LATIN SMALL LETTER B
			5      5  000061  61               a      LATIN SMALL LETTER A
			6      6  000072  72               r      LATIN SMALL LETTER R
