Yes, many of the useful functions accept strings in two forms, either
UTF-16 or CharacterIterators. The iterator pretty much only has to know
how to step forward through the string and return the code point at
each point.

Here's the docs for C++ class, but there's a equivalent C interface.

Have a nice day,
