+      This library provides functions for manipulating Unicode strings
+      and for manipulating C strings according to the Unicode
+      standard.
+
+      GNU libunistring is for you if your application involves
+      non-trivial text processing, such as upper/lower case
+      conversions, line breaking, operations on words, or more
+      advanced analysis of text.  Text provided by the user can, in
+      general, contain characters of all kinds of scripts.  The text
+      processing functions provided by this library handle all scripts
+      and all languages.
+
+      libunistring is for you if your application already uses the ISO
+      C / POSIX <ctype.h>, <wctype.h> functions and the text it
+      operates on is provided by the user and can be in any language.
+
+      libunistring is also for you if your application uses Unicode
+      strings as internal in-memory representation.
