Description :
Fast, correct, consistent, portable and convenient character string/text
processing in every locale and any native encoding. Owing to the use of the
\'ICU\' (International Components for Unicode) library, the package provides \'R\'
users with platform-independent functions known to \'Java\', \'Perl\', \'Python\',
\'PHP\' and \'Ruby\' programmers. Available features include: pattern searching
(e.g., with \'Java\'-like regular expressions or the \'Unicode\' collation
algorithm), random string generation, case mapping, string transliteration,
concatenation, Unicode normalization, date-time formatting and parsing and many
more.
