The Unicode Ethereum Project is an initiative to make it easier to work with unicode and string data within Solidity. Hope this helps out developers in the future!
From the project README,
Unicode data and algorithms are essential to any major programming language. Solidity, like many lower-level programming languages, represent strings as a UTF-8 encoded bytes and does not natively support character-based operations like length, charAt, or isLowercase. There are popular third-party libraries for string manipulation, like https://github.com/Arachnid/solidity-stringutils, but none that provide information about the underlying Unicode characters. If you are building an application or contract that receives user input as strings, understanding user input is critical for any validation, sanitization, or standardization logic.
