utf8 | Simple Library for Internationalization

utf8 is a C++ library. utf8 has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

While most of the (computing) world has standardized on using UTF-8 encoding, Win32 has remained stuck with wide character strings (also called UTF-16 encoding). This library simplifies usage of UTF-8 encoded strings under Win32 using principles outlined in the [UTF-8 Everywhere Manifesto] Here is an example of a function call: `` utf8::mkdir (u8"ελληνικό"); //create a directory with a UTF8-encoded name `` and another example of a C++ stream with a name and content that are not ASCII characters: `` utf8::ofstream u8strm(u8"");. A call to Windows API functions can be written as: `` HANDLE f = CreateFile (utf8::widen (u8"ελληνικό").c_str (), GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); ``.
