What Hacker News says
4 sourcesNice this does the job, probably could be done more efficiently, but I like that its not a kitchen-sink library. Unfortunate that the data generator is certainly not "clean C"... perl, ruby, and julia, all to generate character width table? Ugh. Otherwise this lib does a pretty good job. Thanks for the reference!
edit* Yikes https://github.com/JuliaStrings/utf8proc/blob/master/utf8pro...
Still this is a good template to maybe cut a (safter) state-based iterator out of their logic...
In Any Encoding, Ever – ztd.text and Unicode for C++If you're fine with an extra copy, I think the UTF8PROC_CHARBOUND flag does this in https://github.com/JuliaStrings/utf8proc ?
