ICU.
If you get messages that the library or functions are not found, you can
set some environment variables to tell ffi-icu where to find it, e.g.:
- $ export FFI_ICU_LIB="icui18n.so"
- $ export FFI_ICU_VERSION_SUFFIX="_3_8"
- $ ruby -r ffi-icu program.rb
+```sh
+$ export FFI_ICU_LIB="icui18n.so"
+$ export FFI_ICU_VERSION_SUFFIX="_3_8"
+$ ruby -r ffi-icu program.rb
+```
Features
========
Character Encoding Detection
----------------------------
Examples:
```ruby
-
- match = ICU::CharDet.detect(str)
- match.name # => "UTF-8"
- match.confidence # => 80
+match = ICU::CharDet.detect(str)
+match.name # => "UTF-8"
+match.confidence # => 80
```
or
```ruby
- detector = ICU::CharDet::Detector.new
- detector.detect(str) => #<struct ICU::CharDet::Detector::Match ...>
+detector = ICU::CharDet::Detector.new
+detector.detect(str) => #<struct ICU::CharDet::Detector::Match ...>
```
Why not just use rchardet?

- iterator.to_a #=> [0, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 18, 19]

Number/Currency Formatting
--------------------------
Examples:
```ruby

- ICU::NumberFormatting.format_number("de-DE", 1234.56) #=> "1.234,56"

Time Formatting/Parsing
--------------------------
Examples:
```ruby
- # class method interface
- f = ICU::TimeFormatting.format(Time.mktime(2015, 11, 12, 15, 21, 16), {:locale => 'cs_CZ', :zone => 'Europe/Prague', :date => :short, :time => :short})

+# class method interface
+f = ICU::TimeFormatting.format(Time.mktime(2015, 11, 12, 15, 21, 16), {:locale => 'cs_CZ', :zone => 'Europe/Prague', :date => :short, :time => :short})
+f #=> "12.11.15 15:21"
- # reusable formatting objects
- formatter = ICU::TimeFormatting.create(:locale => 'cs_CZ', :zone => 'Europe/Prague', :date => :long, :time => :none)
- formatter.format(Time.now) #=> "25. února 2015"
+# reusable formatting objects
+formatter = ICU::TimeFormatting.create(:locale => 'cs_CZ', :zone => 'Europe/Prague', :date => :long, :time => :none)
+formatter.format(Time.now) #=> "25. února 2015"
```
```ruby
- # reusable formatting objects
- formatter = ICU::TimeFormatting.create(:locale => 'cs_CZ', :zone => 'Europe/Prague', :date => :long, :time => :none)
- formatter.parse("25. února 2015") #=> Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 +0100 2015
+# reusable formatting objects

+formatter.parse("25. února 2015") #=> Wed Feb 25 00:00:00 +0100 2015
```
For skeleton formatting, visit the [Unicode date field symbol table](https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/format_parse/datetime/#date-field-symbol-table) page to help find the pattern characters to use.
```ruby
- formatter = ICU::TimeFormatting.create(:locale => 'cs_CZ', :date => :pattern, :time => :pattern, :skeleton => 'MMMMY')
- formatter.format(Time.now) #=> "únor 2015"
+formatter = ICU::TimeFormatting.create(:locale => 'cs_CZ', :date => :pattern, :time => :pattern, :skeleton => 'MMMMY')
+formatter.format(Time.now) #=> "únor 2015"
- formatter = ICU::TimeFormatting.create(:locale => 'cs_CZ', :date => :pattern, :time => :pattern, :skeleton => 'Y')
- formatter.format(Time.now) #=> "2015"
+formatter = ICU::TimeFormatting.create(:locale => 'cs_CZ', :date => :pattern, :time => :pattern, :skeleton => 'Y')
+formatter.format(Time.now) #=> "2015"
