Simple, portable, lightweight library for handling UTF-8 strings

Many C++ developers miss an easy and portable way of handling Unicode encoded strings. The original C++ Standard known as C++98 or C++03 is Unicode agnostic. C++11 provides some support for Unicode on core language and library level u8, u, and U character and string literals, char16_t and char32_t character types, u16string and u32string library classes, and codecvt support for conversions between Unicode encoding forms. In the meantime, developers use third party libraries like ICU, OS specific capabilities, or simply roll out their own solutions.

In order to easily handle UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings, I came up with a small generic library. For anybody used to work with STL algorithms and iterators, it should be easy and natural to use.
