    180  * UnicodeString is a string class that stores Unicode characters directly and provides
    181  * similar functionality as the Java String and StringBuffer classes.
    182  * It is a concrete implementation of the abstract class Replaceable (for transliteration).
    183  *
    184  * The UnicodeString class is not suitable for subclassing.
    185  *
    186  * <p>For an overview of Unicode strings in C and C++ see the
    187  * <a href="http://icu-project.org/userguide/strings.html">User Guide Strings chapter</a>.</p>
    188  *
    189  * <p>In ICU, a Unicode string consists of 16-bit Unicode <em>code units</em>.
    190  * A Unicode character may be stored with either one code unit
    191  * (the most common case) or with a matched pair of special code units
    192  * ("surrogates"). The data type for code units is UChar.
    193  * For single-character handling, a Unicode character code <em>point</em> is a value
    194  * in the range 0..0x10ffff. ICU uses the UChar32 type for code points.</p>
    195  *
    196  * <p>Indexes and offsets into and lengths of strings always count code units, not code points.
    197  * This is the same as with multi-byte char* strings in traditional string handling.
    198  * Operations on partial strings typically do not test for code point boundaries.
    199  * If necessary, the user needs to take care of such boundaries by testing for the code unit
    200  * values or by using functions like
    201  * UnicodeString::getChar32Start() and UnicodeString::getChar32Limit()
    202  * (or, in C, the equivalent macros U16_SET_CP_START() and U16_SET_CP_LIMIT(), see utf.h).</p>
    203  *
    204  * UnicodeString methods are more lenient with regard to input parameter values
    205  * than other ICU APIs. In particular:
    206  * - If indexes are out of bounds for a UnicodeString object
    207  *   (<0 or >length()) then they are "pinned" to the nearest boundary.
    208  * - If primitive string pointer values (e.g., const UChar * or char *)
    209  *   for input strings are NULL, then those input string parameters are treated
    210  *   as if they pointed to an empty string.
    211  *   However, this is <em>not</em> the case for char * parameters for charset names
    212  *   or other IDs.
    213  * - Most UnicodeString methods do not take a UErrorCode parameter because
    214  *   there are usually very few opportunities for failure other than a shortage
    215  *   of memory, error codes in low-level C++ string methods would be inconvenient,
    216  *   and the error code as the last parameter (ICU convention) would prevent
    217  *   the use of default parameter values.
    218  *   Instead, such methods set the UnicodeString into a "bogus" state
    219  *   (see isBogus()) if an error occurs.
    220  *
    221  * In string comparisons, two UnicodeString objects that are both "bogus"
    222  * compare equal (to be transitive and prevent endless loops in sorting),
    223  * and a "bogus" string compares less than any non-"bogus" one.
    224  *
    225  * Const UnicodeString methods are thread-safe. Multiple threads can use
    226  * const methods on the same UnicodeString object simultaneously,
    227  * but non-const methods must not be called concurrently (in multiple threads)
    228  * with any other (const or non-const) methods.
    229  *
    230  * Similarly, const UnicodeString & parameters are thread-safe.
    231  * One object may be passed in as such a parameter concurrently in multiple threads.
    232  * This includes the const UnicodeString & parameters for
    233  * copy construction, assignment, and cloning.
    234  *
    235  * <p>UnicodeString uses several storage methods.
    236  * String contents can be stored inside the UnicodeString object itself,
    237  * in an allocated and shared buffer, or in an outside buffer that is "aliased".
    238  * Most of this is done transparently, but careful aliasing in particular provides
    239  * significant performance improvements.
    240  * Also, the internal buffer is accessible via special functions.
    241  * For details see the
    242  * <a href="http://icu-project.org/userguide/strings.html">User Guide Strings chapter</a>.</p>
