Sorting of unicode
Regex of unicode
charset conversions
and MUCH more

I think the library is robust and trustable, it's by a, well, uh, large software company committed to open source.

http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/

although it talks about Java, go ALL the way to the bottom, and it can be seen that they develop a parallel C/C++ version .

Wow! And wow again!

My first reaction is that this is really cool. I haven't looked at it
in depth, being entirely unqualified to do so, but that's my first
reaction. My second reaction is wondering whether the X license is
compatible with the BSD license, and I'm even less qualified to answer
that. But I'd love to hear from those more knowledgeable in both areas
if this can help PostgreSQL.

The MIT/X license is compatible with everything.
