Re: [boost] Is there any interest in a UTF-8 library?

I have just released Beta 2 version of a small (one header file) generic library for handling UTF-8 encoded strings - you can read more about it at http://utfcpp.sourceforge.net/ .

Looks good. Nice to see an additional step away from silly 8-bit encodings towards a unicode world. You mention Glib::ustring as an alternative, I would also mention Qt QString that also provides conversion to and from utf-8. As an aside - it sure would be a nice thing to have a better string class than std::string (QString comes to mind) along with all the unicode handling. Nigel
