Show HN: Mojibake – a low-level Unicode library written in C

A developer showcased Mojibake, a low-level Unicode library written in C, on Hacker News. Rather than rely on existing libraries, the creator built their own, consolidating essential Unicode algorithms into two files. The library handles text normalization, case conversion, segmentation, bidirectional text, collation, and detection of confusable characters. It's been tested across six operating systems—Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Windows eleven—and includes a WebAssembly demo. The open-source project welcomes contributions.
