Someday this might be a context-aware preprocessing wrapper for unidecode. As of now, the only thing it does is to call Unicode::normalize_KD before unidecode; that makes it slightly more powerful. Just require the gem and call to_ascii in strings as usual.

Tool for normalizing data

The e164 gem can parse and normalize numbers into the e164 format. It provides extra information on the Country Code and National Destination Codes. It can be used standalone or mixed into a model.

U U extends Ruby’s Unicode support. It provides a string class called U::String with an interface that mimics that of the String class in Ruby 2.0, but that can also be used from both Ruby 1.8. This interface also has more complete Unicode support and never modifies the receiver. Thus, a U::String is an immutable value object. U comes with complete and very accurate documentation¹. The documentation can realistically also be used as a reference to the Ruby String API and may actually be preferable, as it’s a lot more explicit and complete than the documentation that comes with Ruby. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/ § Installation Install u with % gem install u § Usage Usage is basically the following: require 'u-1.0' a = 'äbc' a.upcase # ⇒ 'äBC' a.u.upcase # ⇒ 'ÄBC' That is, you require the library, then you invoke #u on a String. This’ll give you a U::String that has much better Unicode support than a normal String. It’s important to note that U only uses UTF-8, which means that #u will try to #encode the String as such. This shouldn’t be an issue in most cases, as UTF-8 is now more or less the universal encoding – and rightfully so. As U::Strings¹ are immutable value objects, there’s also a U::Buffer² available for building U::Strings efficiently. See the API³ for more complete usage information. The following sections will only cover the extensions and differences that U::String exhibit from Ruby’s built-in String class. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/ ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/Buffer/ ³ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/ § Unicode Properties There are quite a few property-checking interrogators that let you check if all characters in a U::String have the given Unicode property: • #alnum?¹ • #alpha?² • #assigned?³ • #case_ignorable?⁴ • #cased?⁵ • #cntrl?⁶ • #defined?⁷ • #digit?⁸ • #graph?⁹ • #newline?¹⁰ • #print?¹¹ • #punct?¹² • #soft_dotted?¹³ • #space?¹⁴ • #title?¹⁵ • #valid?¹⁶ • #wide?¹⁷ • #wide_cjk?¹⁸ • #xdigit?¹⁹ • #zero_width?²⁰ ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#alnum-p-instance-method ² See

http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#zero_width-p-instance-method Similar to these methods are • #folded?¹ • #lower?² • #upper?³ which check whether a ‹U::String› has been cased in a given manner. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#folded-p-instance-method ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#lower-p-instance-method ³ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#upper-p-instance-method There’s also a #normalized?¹ method that checks whether a ‹U::String› has been normalized on a given form. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#normalized-p-instance-method You can also access certain Unicode properties of the characters of a U::String: • #canonical_combining_class¹ • #general_category² • #grapheme_break³ • #line_break⁴ • #script⁵ • #word_break⁶ ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#canonical_combining_class-instance-method ² See

http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#word_break-instance-method § Locale-specific Comparisons Comparisons of U::Strings respect the current locale (and also allow you to specify a locale to use): ‹#<=>›¹, #casecmp², and #collation_key³. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#comparison-operator ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#casecmp-instance-method ³ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#collation_key-instance-method § Additional Enumerators There are a couple of additional enumerators in #each_grapheme_cluster¹ and #each_word² (along with aliases #grapheme_clusters³ and #words⁴). ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#each_grapheme_cluster-instance-method ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#each_word-instance-method ³ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#grapheme_clusters-instance-method ⁴ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#words-instance-method § Unicode-aware Sub-sequence Removal #Chomp¹, #chop², #lstrip³, #rstrip⁴, and #strip⁵ all look for Unicode newline and space characters, rather than only ASCII ones. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#chomp-instance-method ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#chop-instance-method ³ See

http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#strip-instance-method § Unicode-aware Conversions Case-shifting methods #downcase¹ and #upcase² do proper Unicode casing and the interface is further augmented by #foldcase³ and #titlecase⁴. #Mirror⁵ and #normalize⁶ do conversions similar in nature to the case-shifting methods. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#downcase-instance-method ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#upcase-instance-method ³ See

http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#mirror-instance-method ⁶ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#normalize-instance-method § Width Calculations #Width¹ will return the number of cells on a terminal that a U::String will occupy. #Center², #ljust³, and #rjust⁴ deal in width rather than length, making them much more useful for generating terminal output. #%⁵ (and its alias #format⁶) similarly deal in width. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#width-instance-method ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#center-instance-method ³ See

http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#modulo-operator ⁶ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#format-instance-method § Extended Type Conversions Finally, #hex¹, #oct², and #to_i³ use Unicode alpha-numerics for their respective conversions. ¹ See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#hex-instance-method ² See http://disu.se/software/u-1.0/api/U/String/#oct-instance-method ³
