A small, header-only C++ library for handling UTF-8 encoded strings in a portable way, compatible back to C++98. It provides STL iterator-based utilities for validating, converting, and manipulating UTF-8 text, including conversion to and from UTF-16.
Use cases
- validate that a string or file contains valid UTF-8 text
- convert UTF-8 strings to UTF-16 and back
- handle Unicode text in C++98 or legacy C++ codebases
- iterate over UTF-8 encoded characters with STL-style iterators
- add portable Unicode support to a cross-platform C++ project
When to choose
- you need lightweight, dependency-free UTF-8 handling in C++
- your codebase must stay compatible with C++98/03
- you want an STL iterator-friendly Unicode API
- you prefer a header-only library that is trivial to deploy
When to avoid
- you need full Unicode normalization, collation, or locale-aware processing
- your project already uses ICU or another comprehensive Unicode library
- you need CMake-based package installation as a supported workflow
