Text files are nowadays usually encoded in Unicode, and may consist of very
different scripts – from Latin letters to Chinese Hanzi –, with many kinds
of special characters – accents, right-to-left writing marks, hyphens, Roman
numbers, and much more. But the POSIX platform APIs for text do not contain
adequate functions for dealing with particular properties of many Unicode
characters. In fact, the POSIX APIs for text have several assumptions at
their base which don't hold for Unicode text.
This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings and for
manipulating C strings according to the Unicode standard.
