Hmm, an interesting thought. I would be willing to write a mini-tool
like this, if enough people let me know (on- or off-line) that it would
be useful to them, and provide some suggestions for output formats.

It would make sense for a Unicode-specific tool such as this to only
accept data in WM_UNICHAR format, not WM_CHAR. Unicode data in WM_CHAR
format is pretty much guaranteed to have gone through some conversion
step.
