International Components for Unicode (ICU) is an open-source project of mature C/C++ and Java libraries for Unicode support, software internationalization, and software globalization. ICU is widely portable to many operating systems and environments. It gives applications the same results on all platforms and between C, C++, and Java software.

Converts Unicode character codes, always given in hexadecimal, to their UTF-8 or UTF-16 representation in upper-case hex or decimal. Can also reverse this for UTF-8. The UTF-16 form will accept and pass through unpaired surrogates e.g. {{#invoke:Unicode convert|getUTF8|D835}} → D835.
In Unix and Unix-like operating systems, iconv (an abbreviation of internationalization conversion) [2] is a command-line program [3] and a standardized application programming interface (API) [4] used to convert between different character encodings. "It can convert from any of these encodings to any other, through Unicode conversion."
In computing, uconv is a command-line tool that is bundled with International Components for Unicode that converts text files between different character encodings.It is very similar to the iconv command that is part of the Single UNIX Specification which is usually implemented using libiconv.
HarfBuzz (loose transliteration of Persian calque حرفباز harf-bāz, literally "open type") [2] [3] is a software library for supporting text shaping, which is the process of converting Unicode text to glyph indices and positions.
Similarly, Unicode handles the mixture of left-to-right-text alongside right-to-left text without any special characters. For example, one can quote Arabic (“بسم الله”) (translated into English as "Bismillah") right alongside English and the Arabic letters will flow from right-to-left and the Latin letters left-to-right.
The Universal Coded Character Set (UCS, Unicode) is a standard set of characters defined by the international standard ISO/IEC 10646, Information technology — Universal Coded Character Set (UCS) (plus amendments to that standard), which is the basis of many character encodings, improving as characters from previously unrepresented writing systems are added.
