UnicodeUtils implements Unicode algorithms in pure Ruby code.

Install with RubyGems:

```
$ gem install unicode_utils

```

Ruby 1.9.1 is required.

Example code:

```
require "unicode_utils/titlecase"
UnicodeUtils.titlecase("hello, world!") => "Hello, World!"

```

Homepage:

```
http://unicode-utils.rubyforge.org/

```

With this release, UnicodeUtils implements the following Unicode  
algorithms:

```
* Case conversion: upcase, downcase, titlecase
* Casefolding
* All normalization forms: NFD, NFC, NFKD, NFKC
* Text segmentation: each_grapheme, each_word

```

All future 1.x releases will be backwards compatible!
