DESCRIPTION

       Tesseract needs to know the set of possible characters it can output. To generate the unicharset data
       file, use the unicharset_extractor program on training pages bounding box files or a plain text file:

           unicharset_extractor fontfile_1.box fontfile_2.box ...

       The unicharset will be put into the file ./unicharset if no output filename is provided.

       NOTE Use the appropriate norm_mode based on the language.
