<a name="glib-Unicode-Manipulation.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>This section describes a number of functions for dealing with
Unicode characters and strings. There are analogues of the
traditional <code class="literal">ctype.h</code> character classification and case conversion
functions, UTF-8 analogues of some string utility functions,
functions to perform normalization, case conversion and collation
on UTF-8 strings and finally functions to convert between the UTF-8,
UTF-16 and UCS-4 encodings of Unicode.</p>
<p>The implementations of the Unicode functions in GLib are based
on the Unicode Character Data tables, which are available from
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.unicode.org/" target="_top">www.unicode.org</a>.
GLib 2.8 supports Unicode 4.0, GLib 2.10 supports Unicode 4.1,
GLib 2.12 supports Unicode 5.0, GLib 2.16.3 supports Unicode 5.1,
GLib 2.30 supports Unicode 6.0.</p>

Hangul Jamo decomposition, as well as 'singleton'
decompositions which replace a character by a single
other character. In the case of singletons *<em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>
 will
be set to zero.</p>
<p>If <em class="parameter"><code>ch</code></em>
 is not decomposable, *<em class="parameter"><code>a</code></em>
 is set to <em class="parameter"><code>ch</code></em>
 and *<em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>

is set to zero.</p>
<p>Note that the way Unicode decomposition pairs are
defined, it is guaranteed that <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>
 would not decompose
further, but <em class="parameter"><code>a</code></em>
 may itself decompose.  To get the full
canonical decomposition for <em class="parameter"><code>ch</code></em>
, one would need to
recursively call this function on <em class="parameter"><code>a</code></em>
.  Or use

pass <a class="link" href="glib-Standard-Macros.html#FALSE:CAPS" title="FALSE"><code class="literal">FALSE</code></a> for <em class="parameter"><code>compat</code></em>

<p>The decomposed sequence is placed in <em class="parameter"><code>result</code></em>

of the full decomposition (irrespective of <em class="parameter"><code>result_len</code></em>

returned by the function.  For canonical decomposition,
currently all decompositions are of length at most 4, but
this may change in the future (very unlikely though).
At any rate, Unicode does guarantee that a buffer of length
18 is always enough for both compatibility and canonical
decompositions, so that is the size recommended. This is provided

<p>Converts from an integer character offset to a pointer to a position
within the string.</p>
<p>Since 2.10, this function allows to pass a negative <em class="parameter"><code>offset</code></em>
 to
step backwards. It is usually worth stepping backwards from the end
instead of forwards if <em class="parameter"><code>offset</code></em>
 is in the last fourth of the string,
since moving forward is about 3 times faster than moving backward.</p>
<p>Note that this function doesn't abort when reaching the end of <em class="parameter"><code>str</code></em>
.
Therefore you should be sure that <em class="parameter"><code>offset</code></em>
 is within string boundaries
before calling that function. Call <a class="link" href="glib-Unicode-Manipulation.html#g-utf8-strlen" title="g_utf8_strlen ()"><code class="function">g_utf8_strlen()</code></a> when unsure.
This limitation exists as this function is called frequently during
text rendering and therefore has to be as fast as possible.</p>

<p>Reverses a UTF-8 string. <em class="parameter"><code>str</code></em>
 must be valid UTF-8 encoded text. 
(Use <a class="link" href="glib-Unicode-Manipulation.html#g-utf8-validate" title="g_utf8_validate ()"><code class="function">g_utf8_validate()</code></a> on all text before trying to use UTF-8 
utility functions with it.)</p>
<p>This function is intended for programmatic uses of reversed strings.
It pays no attention to decomposed characters, combining marks, byte 
order marks, directional indicators (LRM, LRO, etc) and similar 
characters which might need special handling when reversing a string 
for display purposes.</p>
<p>Note that unlike <a class="link" href="glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-strreverse" title="g_strreverse ()"><code class="function">g_strreverse()</code></a>, this function returns
newly-allocated memory, which should be freed with <a class="link" href="glib-Memory-Allocation.html#g-free" title="g_free ()"><code class="function">g_free()</code></a> when
no longer needed.</p>

accent or as a single precomposed character. The

<p>The normalization mode <a class="link" href="glib-Unicode-Manipulation.html#G-NORMALIZE-DEFAULT:CAPS"><code class="literal">G_NORMALIZE_DEFAULT</code></a> only

<p>Converts a string into a collation key that can be compared
with other collation keys produced by the same function using <code class="function">strcmp()</code>. </p>
<p>In order to sort filenames correctly, this function treats the dot '.' 
as a special case. Most dictionary orderings seem to consider it
insignificant, thus producing the ordering "event.c" "eventgenerator.c"
"event.h" instead of "event.c" "event.h" "eventgenerator.c". Also, we
would like to treat numbers intelligently so that "file1" "file10" "file5"
is sorted as "file1" "file5" "file10".</p>
<p>Note that this function depends on the <a class="link" href="glib-running.html#setlocale" title="Locale">current locale</a>.</p>

<p>The notation to express a Unicode code point in running text is
as a hexadecimal number with four to six digits and uppercase
letters, prefixed by the string "U+". Leading zeros are omitted,
unless the code point would have fewer than four hexadecimal digits.
For example, "U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A". To print a code point
in the U+-notation, use the format string "U+%04"G_GINT32_FORMAT"X".
To scan, use the format string "U+%06"G_GINT32_FORMAT"X".</p>
