About:
libunicode is a modern C++20 library designed for robust Unicode support, providing comprehensive handling of UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 encoding and decoding. It offers high-performance algorithms for text processing, including grapheme cluster breaking and Unicode normalization, essential for modern terminal applications and internationalized software.
Key Features:
  • C++20 standard compliance and concepts
  • High-performance UTF-8/16/32 conversion
  • Grapheme cluster breaking and segmentation
  • Unicode normalization support
  • Low-dependency and header-only options
Use Cases:
  • Building modern terminal emulators
  • Internationalizing C++ applications
  • High-performance text processing and rendering
  • Developing secure CLI tools
Alternatives:
  • ICU – ICU is a comprehensive, heavy-weight C/C++ library, whereas libunicode aims for a lightweight, modern C++20 approach.
  • Boost.Text – Boost.Text is a robust alternative within the Boost ecosystem, while libunicode offers a standalone, potentially more specialized solution for terminal use cases.
