utf8proc
utf8proc is a small, clean C library that provides Unicode normalization, case-folding, and other operations for data in the UTF-8 encoding. It was initially developed by Jan Behrens and the rest of the Public Software Group, who deserve nearly all of the credit for this package. With the blessing of the Public Software Group, the Julia developers have taken over development of utf8proc, since the original developers have moved to other projects.
(utf8proc is used for basic Unicode support in the Julia language, and the Julia developers became involved because they wanted to add Unicode 7 support and other features.)
(The original utf8proc package also includes Ruby and PostgreSQL plug-ins. We removed those from utf8proc in order to focus exclusively on the C library for the time being, but plan to add them back in or release them as separate packages.)
The utf8proc package is licensed under the
free/open-source MIT "expat"
license (plus certain Unicode
data governed by the similarly permissive Unicode data
license); please see
the included LICENSE.md file for more detailed information.
Quick Start
For compilation of the C library run make.
General Information
The C library is found in this directory after successful compilation
and is named libutf8proc.a (for the static library) and
libutf8proc.so (for the dynamic library).
The Unicode version supported is 9.0.0.
For Unicode normalizations, the following options are used:
- Normalization Form C:
STABLE,COMPOSE - Normalization Form D:
STABLE,DECOMPOSE - Normalization Form KC:
STABLE,COMPOSE,COMPAT - Normalization Form KD:
STABLE,DECOMPOSE,COMPAT
C Library
The documentation for the C library is found in the utf8proc.h header file.
utf8proc_map is function you will most likely be using for mapping UTF-8
strings, unless you want to allocate memory yourself.
To Do
See the Github issues list.
Contact
Bug reports, feature requests, and other queries can be filed at the utf8proc issues page on Github.
