Library for dealing with Unicode
Hi all, I am looking for a library to help deal with locale in a "cross-platform" manner -- something like iconv but for cross-platform. After some searching, I've come across Boost.Locale, but it looks like it hasn't been released yet. Does anyone know when it will be accepted? Or, is there an alternative I can use? Thanks, J
ICU appears to be the dominate library for Unicode. boost provides an option to use its implementation for regular expressions. It's an open source library supported by IBM.

AfAIK, the default backend of boost.locale rely on ICU. Joël Lamotte
