UTF-8 module for Lua 5.x
Branch: pkgsrc-2022Q3,
Version: 0.1.3,
Package name: lua54-utf8-0.1.3,
Maintainer: niaThis module adds UTF-8 support to Lua. It's compatible with Lua's
own string module, and passes all string and pattern matching tests
in Lua's test suite.
It also adds some useful routines against UTF-8 features:
- a convenient interface to escape Unicode sequences in strings.
- string insert/remove, since UTF-8 substring extract may be expensive.
- calculate Unicode width, useful when implementing e.g. console emulator.
- a useful interface to translate Unicode offsets and byte offsets.
