NAME

  UTF8::R2 - makes UTF-8 scripting easy for enterprise use or LTS

SYNOPSIS

  use UTF8::R2;
  use UTF8::R2 ver.sion;            # match or die
  use UTF8::R2 qw( RFC3629 );       # m/./ matches RFC3629 codepoint (default)
  use UTF8::R2 qw( RFC2279 );       # m/./ matches RFC2279 codepoint
  use UTF8::R2 qw( WTF8 );          # m/./ matches WTF-8 codepoint
  use UTF8::R2 qw( RFC3629.ja_JP ); # optimized RFC3629 for ja_JP
  use UTF8::R2 qw( WTF8.ja_JP );    # optimized WTF-8 for ja_JP
  use UTF8::R2 qw( %mb );           # multibyte regex by %mb

DESCRIPTION

  UTF8::R2 module provides minimal UTF-8 subroutines for stable scripting
  environment, using no utf8 pragma, no UTF-8 flag.

      $_ =~ s<$mb{qr/before/imsxo}><after>egr

  OTHER UTF-8 CODEPOINT FEATURE
    The following functions were created to ensure symmetry as a language.
    You will not have much chance to use them when you write your application
    programs.
    UTF8::R2::chop(@_)
    UTF8::R2::chr($utf8octet_not_unicode)
    UTF8::R2::getc(FILEHANDLE)
    UTF8::R2::index($_, 'ABC', 5)
    UTF8::R2::lc($_)
    UTF8::R2::lcfirst($_)
    UTF8::R2::length($_)
    UTF8::R2::ord($_)
    UTF8::R2::reverse(@_)
    UTF8::R2::rindex($_, 'ABC', 5)
    UTF8::R2::substr($_, 0, 5)
    UTF8::R2::uc($_)
    UTF8::R2::ucfirst($_)
