As requested, I have posted a Unicode character support library in the boost vault as Unicode_lib.zip.
Please feel free to use this under the boost license.
It would be great if somebody had the time to develop the existing character support to ad the string wrappers that we had intended to - but ran out of time doing.
It should be well documented, but if you want any questions answered, please feel free to ask and I'll try and help!
I finally got around to taking a good look at it. It is my understanding that the library consists essentially of two parts: 1) codecvt facets for UTF8, 16 and 32 and char_traits for codepoint, along with appropriate fstream typedefs. 2) An interface for getting the properties of a unicode codepoint, and implementations for some of the Unicode algorithms. This is very impressive, but unfortunately, codecvt is simply not rich enough to build a string class based on it that actually stores the characters in encoded form. Am I correct in this? Sebastian
