I have been working on range adaptors to iterate over code points in an UTF-x string as well as converting back those code points to UTF-y for the past week
I would be interested to see this code. I encourage you to share what you have done as soon as possible, to get prompt feedback.
short documentation http://mathias.gaunard.emi.u-bordeaux1.fr/unicode/doc/html/
Some feedback based on that document: UTF-16 .... This is the recommended encoding for dealing with Unicode. Recommended by who? It's not the encoding that I would normally recommend. make_utf8(Range&& range); Assumes range range is a properly encoded UTF-8 range in Normalization Form C. Iterating the range may throw an exception if it isn't. as_utf8(Range&& range); Return type is a model of UnicodeRange whose value type is uchar8_t. To me, the word "make" suggests that the former is actually doing a conversion. But it's the latter, "as", that does that. Can we think of something better? (Can anyone suggest any precidents?)
