title: Light C Unicode Library
body: <p>I'm looking for a small C library to handle utf8 strings.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, splitting based on unicode delimiters for use with stemming algorithms.</p>
  
  <p>Related posts have suggested:</p>
  
  <p>ICU <a href="http://www.icu-project.org/" rel="noreferrer">http://www.icu-project.org/</a> (I found it too bulky for my purposes on embedded devices)</p>
  
  <p>UTF8-CPP: <a href="http://utfcpp.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">http://utfcpp.sourceforge.net/</a> (Excellent, but C++ not C)</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone found any platform independent, small codebase libraries for handling unicode strings (doesn't need to do naturalisation).</p>
