	-r #..# - show the utf-8 characters represented by the decimal 
	          range #..# in tab delimited format.
	-h      - print out the utf-8 byte order mark: \xEF\xBB\xBF

Building

Note: this runs fine under WSL, but does not run on my Debian Raspberry Pi

Note

I've tried building this on my Debian Raspberry Pi, and it builds just fine. However, it does not run. It only runs on my WSL (ubuntu) on WinX. Any help making it better cross platform would be greatly appreciated. (keeping it in C of course for this proj)
