Is there any interest in a UTF-8 library?
Hello everybody. 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/ . Is there any interest in adding this library too Boost? Either as a separate library or maybe as an addition to some of existing ones. Thanks.

FYI, boost regex has a unicode_iterator in boost/regex/pending. Perhaps you should talk to John Maddock. At any rate, I am interested and I wish such a thing will be formally a part of boost. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

Yes, I had a quick look at the documentation and it seems very practical. I would certainly be interested. regards Andy Little

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
