          I'm not sure what you mean exactly with "unicode characters". To count the different characters in a file you could do something like this:



          $ awk -v FS="" -v OFS="t" 'for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) char[$i]++ END for(i in char) print i,char[i]' input.txt


          With -v FS="" we set the field separator to nothing. So each character is handled as a single field. In each line we iterate over these fields using the character as a key for the list and increment the count with ++. If all lines were read, we iterate over the counting list and print each key (which represents the character) and its count.

          • Note that this is going to be locale-dependent (and there are certainly conceptions of "unicode character" that it doesn't satisfy, as you noted).
