Uffff – Unicode input processing made trivial!
Uffff, pronounced as oof (/uːf/), the sound one makes when realizing the amount of work necessary to properly
process unicode. It’s also a unicode-speak play on the unicode code point U+ffff. If you prefer, it could also stand
for unicode’s fabulously functional figure filter.
Processing user-supplied unicode text correctly is surprisingly difficult. Normalization to a well-known form is required, balancing opening directional markers, stripping null bytes, potentially trimming esoteric whitespaces, harmonizing newlines and more.
This is what Uffff specializes in. It offers both a high-level API that should solve the problem for 90% of the use cases as well as an extensible architecture to implement custom filters.
