Detailed Description

Descriptor of a chunk, or segment of text in UChar format.

UText provider implementations surface their text in the form of UTextChunks.

If the native form of the text if UTF-16, a chunk will typically refer back to the original native text storage. If the native format is something else, chunks will typically refer to a buffer maintained by the provider that contains some amount input that has been converted to UTF-16 (UChar) form.

Draft:

This API may be changed in the future versions and was introduced in ICU 3.4
