The goal of this library is to provide an object interface to interact with strings, in conjunction with handling UTF-8 strings just as smoothly and painlessly as ASCII strings while adding in additional features.

Usage

[](#usage)

TODO

[](#todo)

- Write tests for Utf8String
- Work on normalization code
- Consider using a different testing framework because nobody uses PhpSpec... PHPUnit, Codeception, or Pest
- Flesh out devcontainer config with extensions
