This software library enables processing of Unicode strings encoded in UTF-8 format.
If you're looking for a library to handle UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings, then utf8proc may be worth checking out. This software supports various functions such as Unicode normalization, mapping new line functions to standard paragraphs and line separators, stripping default ignorable characters, and case folding.
This library is primarily developed for use in C programs, but the majority of its features are also available as a Ruby library. Additionally, for PostgreSQL, there is an extension that can help you prepare strings for case-insensitive indices.
You can quickly get started with utf8proc by calling "make c-library" for the C library or "make ruby-library" for the Ruby library. If you need the PostgreSQL extension, call "make pgsql-library". If you want to build everything, you can use "make all", but keep in mind that you'll need to have both the Ruby and PostgreSQL installations available to do so.
Overall, utf8proc seems like a powerful tool for working with Unicode strings in a variety of contexts, and its availability in multiple programming languages is sure to be a plus for many developers.
