brew install utf8proc v2.11.3 MIT AND Unicode-DFS-2015

C library for Unicode normalization, case-folding, and grapheme analysis of UTF-8 text.

Why you might care

Essential dependency for applications handling multilingual text: provides standards-compliant Unicode processing (NFC/NFD/NFKC/NFKD normalization, case conversion, grapheme breaking). Single shared library with no external runtime deps. Widely used by Julia and other language runtimes that need robust UTF-8 support.
