ICU4C is the C/C++ version of the International Components for Unicode library, providing robust support for Unicode globalization. It offers comprehensive locale-aware string comparison, formatting, and text boundary analysis, ensuring applications handle international text correctly across different languages and regions.

Key Features:

Unicode text processing and normalization
Locale-sensitive formatting and collation
Time zone and calendar support
Character set conversion

Use Cases:

Internationalizing C/C++ applications for global markets
Processing and analyzing multilingual text data
Building locale-aware date/time and number formatting systems
