Description: C++ developers do not have an easy and portable way of handling Unicode encoded strings.  The original C++ Standard (known as C++98 or C++03) is Unicode agnostic.  C++11 provides some support for Unicode at the core language and library levels: u8, u, and U character and string literals, char16_t and char32_t character types, u16string and u32string library classes, and codecvt support for conversions between Unicode encoding forms.  In the meantime, developers use third party libraries like ICU, OS-specific capabilities, or simply roll out their own solutions.

This is a small, C++98-compatible generic library to make it easy to handle UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings.  For anybody used to working with STL algorithms and iterators, it should be easy and natural to use.

Yes, you're absolutely right.  Thanks for catching that.
