# Text-ICU: Comprehensive support for string manipulation

This package provides the Data.Text.ICU library, for performing

complex manipulation of Unicode text.  It provides features such as

the following:

* Unicode normalization

* Conversion to and from many common and obscure encodings

* Date and number formatting

* Comparison and collation

## Prerequisites

This library is implemented as bindings to the well-respected [ICU

library](https://icu.unicode.org/) (which is not bundled, and must

be installed separately).

### macOS

    brew install icu4c

    brew link icu4c --force

You might need:

    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(brew --prefix)/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig"

### Debian/Ubuntu

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get install libicu-dev

### Fedora/CentOS

    sudo dnf install unzip libicu-devel

### Nix/NixOS

    nix-shell --packages icu

### Windows/MSYS2

Under MSYS2, `ICU` can be installed via `pacman`.

    pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-icu

Depending on the age of the MSYS2 installation, the keyring might need

to be updated to avoid certification issues, and `pkg-config` might

need to be added.  In this case, do this first:

    pacman --noconfirm -Sy msys2-keyring

    pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-pkgconf

### Windows/stack

With `stack` on Windows, which comes with its _own_ bundled MSYS2, the

following commands give up-to-date system dependencies for

`text-icu-0.8.0` (tested 2023-09-30):

    stack exec -- pacman --noconfirm -Sy msys2-keyring

    stack exec -- pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-pkgconf

    stack exec -- pacman --noconfirm -S mingw-w64-x86_64-icu

## Compatibility

Upstream ICU occasionally introduces backwards-incompatible API

breaks. This package tries to stay up to date with upstream, and is

currently more or less in sync with ICU 72.

Minimum required version is ICU 62.
