ASCII & UTF string manipulation functions

[Sandip V Honde <sandeep honde wipro com>]

Hi,

I was replacing some of the deprecated string manipulation function
calls.
I found that such string manipulation calls can be replaced by functions 
from ASCII or Unicode characters familiy 
 
 e.g.

Following  functions are depreacted from <glib.h>

	g_strcasecmp()
	g_strncasecmp()

The following replacements are avialable for above functions

	g_ascii_strcasecmp()
	g_ascii_strncasecmp()

These functions only recognizes standard ASCII letters and ignores the
locale, treating all non-ASCII
characters as if they are not letters.

Should I go for the functions from Unicode Manipuations which operate on
Unicode characters and UTF-8 strings instead functions working only on
ASCII characters ?

Regards,
Sandeep.
