| Haskell bindings to the International Components for Unicode (ICU) |
| libraries. These libraries provide robust and full-featured Unicode |
| services on a wide variety of platforms. |
| |
| Features include: |
| |
| * Both pure and impure bindings, to allow for fine control over efficiency |
| and ease of use. |
| |
| * Breaking of strings on character, word, sentence, and line boundaries. |
| |
| * Access to the Unicode Character Database (UCD) of character metadata. |
| |
| * String collation functions, for locales where the conventions for |
| lexicographic ordering differ from the simple numeric ordering of |
| character codes. |
| |
| * Character set conversion functions, allowing conversion between |
| Unicode and over 220 character encodings. |
| |
| * Unicode normalization. (When implementations keep strings in a |
| normalized form, they can be assured that equivalent strings have a |
| unique binary representation.) |
| |
| * Regular expression search and replace. |
