My co-worker Sunaga-san showed me a cool trick with native2ascii today. He ran it from the command line with no arguments and then used the IME to type in some Japanese. It output the unicode equivalent. This is what the tool is for, but I had never thought of using it interactively before. We needed to check what the unicode character was for a particular Japanese Kanji and he had an instant answer.
