Hi Mesar,
I typed the following at a Linux command prompt:
lou_translate -f letterDefTest.ctb
\x280d\x280e
The following was displayed
\x280e\x2804
I then typed control+d to end the test.
Input characters must be single bytes. The lou_translate program does
not accept wide characters, like the luo_translate function.
