libunicode is a library for manipulating Unicode characters and strings. It understands both the UTF-8 and UCS-2 encodings, and has a framework for adding support for new encodings. libunicode is licensed under the LGPL ================================================================ Some design notes: You might wonder why we always advertise unicode_iconv* instead of just using the native ones when available. The reason is that some programs, like Guile, want to be able to advertise a way to plug in converters. We provide that by using the native iconv() as a first attempt and then falling back to our converters.
