You really need a library when dealing with unicode, if you are doing anything advanced.
How do you split a sentence into words? Spaces, right? Oh, Chinese doesn't have spaces.
How about sentences? Paragraphs? Even characters are a pain to iterate over.
- Nursie 12y agoAgreed, ICU is a good place to start looking at this stuff, used it in a few large-scale commercial projects now.
- jonstewart 12y agoIt really is abominable how bad the standard support for Unicode is. ICU is great, though the C API is somewhat limited compared to the full C++ API. ICU's build process, OTOH, leaves something to be desired, especially if you want to build it with a cross-compiler.
