Processing UTF-8 Strings

Functions available for processing Unicode UTF-8 strings are as follows:

u8_textprep_str(): String-based UTF-8 text preparation
u8_strcmp(): UTF-8 string comparison function
u8_validate(): Validate UTF-8 characters and calculate the byte length

Note - Use the u8_textprep_str() function to convert a UTF-8 string to uppercase or lowercase as well as to apply one of the Unicode normalization forms. For more information, see http://unicode.org/reports/tr15/Unicode Normalization Forms.
