Thanks for your technical details.

Many times it is needed to do cluster level Editing of Indic Text/Data.

We have tried to do it in Notepad++

,
Some Hex Editors, but non found perfect or user friendly.

The old Yudit

also
not giving desired functionality.

Is there any HEX/TEXT editor, which supports Unicode (2Byte/3Byte)
Character groups? Which have a split window, one showing with rendering,
another showing code points only in Characters?

Doing editing of big/huge text files having common errors, (with global
search and replace using wordlist), only PYTHON script provides small level
of user friendliness, i.e. directly input of Indic Unicode
chars, But very limited.

Looking for some other editor.
