I need to handle unicode strings in C. I have heard that ICU is the appropriate set of libraries to use but I am not having any luck getting started.
So my question: Can anyone provide a link to a good beginners tutorial on using unicode strings with ICU in C
P.S. I have installed libicu44 (under Ubuntu 11.04).

The ICU C/C++ project is also called ICU4C when a distinction is necessary. This document describes how to build and install ICU on your machine. For other information about ICU please see the following table of links.
In addition, ICU4C installs several scripts and makefile fragments that help build other code using ICU. For C++, note that there are Recommended Build Options (both for normal use and for ICU as system-level libraries) which are not default simply for compatibility with older ICU-using code.
icu-config is installed (by ICU’s make install) into $ (prefix)/bin/icu-config. It can be convenient for trivial, single-file programs that use ICU. For example, you could compile and build a small program with this command line:
ICU C++ APIs are normally defined in a versioned namespace, for example “icu_50”. There is a stable “icu” alias which should be used instead. (Entry point versioning is only to allow for multiple ICU versions linked into one program.
