What we really need is an awesome small and fast Unicode library that
does everything ICU does but faster and in less code while using UTF-8
as its internal storage so we don't have to convert on each and every
operation. There are a ton of non-obvious things beyond simple string
manipulation. String collation alone is massively complicated, for

example.


http://www.public-software-group.org/utf8proc-documentation looks

interesting. There are other but it has to be chosen very carefully :)

https://github.com/josephg/librope claims to be fast and compliant. Added
to my list.


If I'm reading that correctly it does the substring stuff on already converted UTF8 strings? It needs a UTF8 conversion of even a UTF16 string to work ... I think?
