Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install utf8proc on Fedora 34.

What is `utf8proc`

utf8proc is a library for processing UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings. Some features are Unicode normalization, stripping of default ignorable characters, case folding and detection of grapheme cluster boundaries. A special character mapping is available, which converts for example the characters “Hyphen” (U+2010), “Minus” (U+2212) and “Hyphen-Minus (U+002D, ASCII Minus) all into the ASCII minus sign, to make them equal for comparisons. This package only contains the C library. utf8proc 2.6.1 2.fc34 x86_64 84 k utf8proc-2.6.1-2.fc34.src.rpm fedora Library for processing UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings http Unicode and MIT utf8proc is a library for processing UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings.
