 *
 * \section WhatIsUTF8 What is UTF8 and Unicode ?
 * (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8)

 * Unicode is a computing industry standard for the consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text
 * expressed in most of the world's writing systems.
 * Unicode can be implemented by different character encodings. The most commonly used encodings are UTF-8, UTF-16
 * and the now-obsolete UCS-2.
 *
 * UTF-8 is a character encoding capable of encoding all possible characters, or code points, in Unicode.
 * The encoding is variable-length (not every codepoint is 1 byte long) and uses 8-bit code units. It was designed
 * for backward compatibility with ASCII.
 * UTF-8 encodes each of the 1,112,064 valid code points in the Unicode code space using one to four 8-bit bytes
 * (a group of 8 bits is known as an octet in the Unicode Standard). Code points with lower numerical values
 * (i.e., earlier code positions in the Unicode character set, which tend to occur more frequently) are encoded using
 * fewer bytes. The first 128 characters of Unicode, which correspond one-to-one with ASCII, are encoded using a
 * single octet with the same binary value as ASCII, making valid ASCII text valid UTF-8-encoded Unicode as well.
 *
 * \section Limitations Limitations
 * The String class stores internally the string as an UTF8 encoded std::string. It results in some limitations : it's
 * impossible to edit a single character with operator[]() nor at() because the new character length might not be the same.
 *
 * **The gd::String class supports almost all Unicode characters, except the ones that can't be represented as a single
 * codepoint (obviously, a codepoint can be represented by 1 to 4 bytes, as codepoints are encoded in UTF8).** For examples,
 * some special letters are composed of multiple codepoints (a letter, and the accents). Most of them can be combined into a
 * single codepoint but some can't. These are the not supported ones. See \ref Normalization.
 *
 * \section Performance Performance
 * The UTF8 encoding has the advantage to reduce the RAM consumption compared to UTF16 or UTF32 for strings using a lot
 * of latin characters. But the characters variable length brings some performance issues compared to fixed size encoding.
 * That's why the complexity of each methods is written in their documentation. For instance, the size() method is linear
 * on the string size and so is the operator[]().
 *
 * \section Conversion Conversions from/to other string types
 * The String handles implicit conversion with sf::String (implicit constructor and implicit conversion
 * operator).
 *
 * **However, this is not the case with std::string** as this conversion is not often lossless (mostly on Windows).
 * You need to explicitly call gd::String::FromLocale or gd::String::FromUTF8
 * to convert a std::string to a String. However, if you want to get a String object from a string literal, you can
 * directly use the operator=() or the constructor as they are supporting const char* as argument (it assumes the string
 * literal is encoded in UTF8, so you'll need to put the u8 prefix).
 *
 * \subsection Conversions1 Implicit conversion from/to sf::String
 * \code
 * //Get a String from sf::String
 * sf::String sfmlStr("This is a test ! ");
 * gd::String str1(sfmlStr); //Now contains "This is a test ! " encoded in UTF8
 *
 * //Get a sf::String from String
 * sf::String anotherSfmlString = str; //anotherSfmlString now contains "Another test ! "
 * \endcode
 *
 * \subsection Conversions2 Conversion from/to std::string
 * \code
 * //Get a String from a std::string encoded in the current locale
 * std::string ansiStr = "Some beautiful localized characters. "; //Encoded in ANSI on Windows, UTF8 on Linux
 * gd::String str = gd::String::FromLocale(ansiStr);
 *
 * //Create a String using a string literal encoded in UTF8
 * gd::String anotherStr = u8"This is an UTF8 string";
 * //The same as gd::String anotherStr = gd::utf8::FromUTF8(u8"This is an UTF8 string");
 * //But it works only with string literals.
 *
 * gd::String finalStr = str + anotherStr; //Concatenates the two Strings
 * std::cout << finalStr.ToLocale() << std::endl //Shows "Some beautiful localized characters. This is an UTF8 string"
 * \endcode
 *
 * \section Normalization Normalization
 * This class stores Unicode strings normalized with NFC which means that all characters are combined (if they can). For example, the "à"
 * character can be written in two ways according to the Unicode norm : U+00E0 (the "à" in a single codepoint) or
 * U+0061 (the "a" letter codepoint) + U+0300 "the "`" combining accent. We say that they are canonically equivalent.
 * However, this can cause problem when comparing strings, that's why **this class normalizes the string when constructed** using
 * the **Normalization Form Composition** (all characters are combined, e.g. "à" is represented by a single codepoint).
 * If the string **is invalid when constructed, the string is not normalized** : it will be **normalized when the invalid characters
 * will be removed using gd::String::ReplaceInvalid()**.
 *
 * \section CaseInsensitiveComparison Case-insensitive comparison
 * In Unicode, uppercasing/lowercasing strings to compare them in a case-insensitive way is not recommended.
 * That's why the function gd::CaseInsensitiveEquiv exists to compare two strings in a case-insensitive way.
