I assume the submitter is also the author. If so, can you share about your motivation to write this library? For example, do you use it professionally or in hobby projects? Did you look at other libraries and think that you could do better? These are honest questions -- no trolling from me. I browsed the code and it looks very clean.

The API documention is so nice! It looks like index.html from https://mojibake.zaerl.com/ uses JavaScript to generate the page. Very cool, indeed.

Yes, I'm the author. I began writing this library because I needed something to handle Unicode for another project of mine (that I didn't finish), and I didn't like ICU4C or the other libraries I found.

It's a hobby project I wrote because I find the Unicode standard (sometimes unnecessary) complexity fascinating. And for other people to use, if needed.

The HTML page is static and generated at compile time. Every function has a little form to test the WASM function.
