This software provides an easy to use binary for automating the conversion of Coptic text between the Coptic Standard format and Unicode.
You can install this using cargo, through the cargo install --git https://github.com/kero0/coptic-font-conversion command.
If you execute the binary with no args (or with only the --reverse arg), you will be able to interactively type in text to convert.
When a new line is entered, the converted text will be printed to the screen.
This can be ended by pressing Ctrl+D.
