I am pretty interested in a C++ UNICODE library, since it could be used as a foundation for other useful libraries: XML, Spirit and every text-related tool. I agree with you that there should be a compatibility layer over other string classes (eg. QString): iterators, algorithms or an adapter class. However, I think that Boost should either provide a string class or a guideline about internationalization, since it is not always obvious how to manage UNICODE. For example, Boost.XML (in the sandbox) is parametrized against the String type, but in the README the author states that this mechanism needs other work. I would like to know how you think to manage the I/O Manuel Fiorelli
