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.
