Information about the package, icu4j, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The icu4j package is designed for, International Components for Unicode for Java.
Package Name:
icu4j
Summary:
International Components for Unicode for Java
Description:
The International Components for Unicode (ICU) library provides robust and full-featured Unicode services on a wide variety of platforms. ICU supports the most current version of the Unicode standard, and provides support for supplementary characters (needed for GB 18030 repertoire support). Java provides a very strong foundation for global programs, and IBM and the ICU team played a key role in providing globalization technology into Sun's Java. But because of its long release schedule, Java cannot always keep up-to-date with evolving standards. The ICU team continues to extend Java's Unicode and internationalization support, focusing on improving performance, keeping current with the Unicode standard, and providing richer APIs, while remaining as compatible as possible with the original Java text and internationalization API design.
