    There is also rust-unic which provides both normalization and access to the character database. I have also used this because of their text segmentation support, and I would probably recommend rust-unic in general. I hope to see more progress on that front.

    I try to be mindful of making my software as accessible as possible, but the following

    > creating a lookup table for all the unicode material out there might've been considered impractical or performance-hitting for the developers.

    just doesn't ring true to me in any way for current software. I understand that people can be using older software, which is why I strive to restrict myself to ASCII as much as possible for the widest possible support for my users, but my software also supports unicode identifiers, up to and including a whole unicode table to talk about confusables[1]. And not all TTS software "ignores" characters, which is why people advice against using 𝑓𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑦 unicode because it doesn't get read as text but instead each character is described individually. (This is also something that TTS software should support for their users' sake, but I digress.)

    [1]: this is thanks to the crate unic-udc containing this information: https://github.com/open-i18n/rust-unic

  • Unicode sorting is hard & why browsers added special emoji matching to regexp

    Regarding https://github.com/open-i18n/rust-unic, could it be that the project, or otherwise was superseded by https://github.com/unicode-org/icu4x ?
