C and C++ are the only major production languages that do not have robust Unicode support. This library attempts to provide that support for C++.
This library provides a Unicode implementation suitable for use by anyone — including those who know next to nothing about Unicode.
- Iterators, views, and algorithms that convert among UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32.
- An implementation of the Unicode algorithms for dealing with encodings, normalization, text segmentation, etc.
- A family of types for use in Unicode-aware text processing. This includes
text,
text_view,
rope,
and rope_view.
- Code familiarity -- all of the above types and algorithms work like the STL containers, algorithms, and views.
