I’ve created a Unicode UTF-8 Compatible Version of Gutcheck, calling it gutcheck_u -- if anyone wants to try it.

This was primarily an exercise in finding and changing 8-bit char coding dependencies to 16-bit widechar coding dependencies, but it did require some additional coding.

Currently it is a somewhat Windows-dependent implementation, so if you want to run it on another OS it would take a little bit of work.

I find it more pleasant to use if one’s development file format of choice is UTF-8, and/or if one are doing such things as left-handed / right-handed quotes.

Testing it on PG released files I am in fact finding a fair amount of left / right handedness errors that are not currently being discovered.

Let me know if you want to try it, same distribution terms as the original.
