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.
* Security checks for visually confusable (spoofable) strings.
* Bidirectional Unicode algorithm
* Calendar objects holding dates and times.
* Number and calendar formatting.
