Unicode is the industry standard to consistently represent and manipulate text across most of the world's writing systems.
This library aims at providing the foundation tools to accurately represent and deal with natural text in C++ in a portable and robust manner, so as to allow internationalized applications, by implementing parts of the Unicode Standard.
This library is environment-independent and deliberately chooses not to rely to the standard C++ locale facilities as well as the standard string facilities, judged ill-suited for Unicode. It does, however provide tools that can be used with them.
The current version is locale-agnostic, but a subsystem for tailored locale behaviour may be added in the future.
