The Universal Language Support API (ULS) is designed to facilitate
the development of internationalized applications in conjunction with the
Unicode standard.
The ULS functions fall into four major categories:
-
Unicode Text Processing
- Provides
functions for working with multilingual Unicode (UCS-2) text.
- Localization
- Deals with the locale-specific presentation
of information, and other conventions that may vary according to country
or region.
- Codepage
Conversion
- Allows text to be converted to and
from Unicode or from one codepage to another.
- Keyboard
Input
- Allows the conversion of keyboard scan codes
to and from Unicode characters according to different keyboard layouts.
