There are a couple of libraries called 'libunicode'; but if you mean
the one originally written by Tom Tromey, it should be noted that it
is, for all practical purposes, dead.
(I took over maintainence from Tom for a while, but then we moved the
interesting parts of libunicode into GLib, and replaced the
portable-iconv parts with libiconv, so stopped using it for
GLib/Pango/GNOME.)
