--- Comment #1 from Carlos O'Donell <carlos at redhat dot com> ---
There are no APIs in glibc that are rich enough to provide the functionality
you are interested in acessing.
The only API that has this kind of support is libicu, but even then the API is
immensely expressive, and almost has 1:1 mappings with Unicode data, so you can
directly use that API to ask questions about characters and combining
characters etc, but you have to know what you're doing and understand the
details. We would likely never add something like this that is so specific to
Unicode.
Therefore I'm going to close this bug as RESOLVED/WONTFIX, since we have no
plan to add such APIs.
For now we recommend you use libicu for the complex functions and glibc for the
basic routines.
