    Title:

        A new Unicode aware string class for C++

    Abstract:

    We'll present a brief overview and explanation of Unicode and
    how it allows the processing of non-English languages. We will
    cover the pros and cons of various string formats, including
    UTF-8, UTF-16, UCS-4, etc.

    This session will introduce and discuss our new BSD-licensed
    CsString library.

    No prior knowledge of CopperSpice or DoxyPress is required.

    Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim are the co-founders of
    CopperSpice, a C++ GUI library; and of DoxyPress, a
    documentation generator. They have both spoken at CppCon 2015
    and C++Now 2016, as well as at the ACCU Bay Area meetup.

    Barbara has programmed in C++, Qt, Visual Objects, Clipper, PHP,
    and Java. Ansel has programmed in C++, C, Lisp, Java, and Perl,
    with extensive knowledge of TCP/IP and multithreaded design, and
    is an avid follower of the C++ standard.
