This is a free implementation of algorithms for internationalization
including Unicode. See:
http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/
Quote:
"The International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries provide robust and
full-featured Unicode services on a wide variety of platforms. ICU supports
the most current version of the Unicode standard, and they provide support
for supplementary Unicode characters (needed for GB 18030 repertoire
support)."
It is available either as a C/C++ library, or a pure Java library. There's
also an equivalent Java integration library based on the C/C++ version
(through Java JNI interface) for faster performance.
