A 'Unicode::String' object represents a sequence of Unicode characters. Methods are provided to convert between various external formats (encodings) and 'Unicode::String' objects, and methods are provided for common string manipulations.
The functions utf32be(), utf32le(), utf16be(), utf16le(), utf8(), utf7(), latin1(), uhex(), uchr() can be imported from the 'Unicode::String' module and will work as constructors initializing strings of the corresponding encoding.
The 'Unicode::String' objects overload various operators, which means that they in most cases can be treated like plain strings.
Internally a 'Unicode::String' object is represented by a string of 2 byte numbers in network byte order (big-endian). This representation is not visible by the API provided, but it might be useful to know in order to predict the efficiency of the provided methods.
