@hackage text-icu0.6.2.1

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.
