Allows for fast, correct, consistent, portable, as well as convenient
character string/text processing in every locale and any native
encoding. Owing to the use of the ICU library, the package provides R
users with platform-independent functions known to Java, Perl, Python,
PHP, and Ruby programmers. Among available features there are: pattern
searching (e.g. via regular expressions), random string generation,
string collation, transliteration, concatenation, date-time formatting
and parsing, etc.
