README
UTF-8 and Unicode processing utilities, including bidirectional text handling.
If this library helps your multilingual stack, please consider supporting development via PayPal.
Overview
tc-lib-unicode provides Unicode conversion helpers and bidirectional algorithm support for robust multilingual text processing.
It is built to handle multilingual text paths where normalization, code-point handling, and bidirectional ordering directly affect rendering quality. By isolating Unicode-heavy operations, dependent libraries can keep text processing accurate and easier to audit.
