Name of contribution: Hyphenation Patterns in UTF-8
Author's name: Mojca Miklavec
Location on CTAN: /language/hyph-utf8
Summary description: Hyphenation patterns have been converted into UTF-8
and should serve as a replacement for the old patterns without any
change in functionality. The patterns should be considered upstream
replacement that will be used in TeX Live and other distrubutions
instead of loading the old files.

hyph-utf8 – Hyphenation patterns expressed in UTF-8
Modern native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX need hyphenation patterns in UTF-8 format, whereas older systems require hyphenation patterns in the 8-bit encoding of the font in use (such encodings are codified in the LaTeX scheme with names like OT1, T2A, TS1, OML, LY1, etc).
The present package offers a collection of conversions of existing patterns to UTF-8 format, together with converters for use with 8-bit fonts in older systems. Since hyphenation patterns for Knuthian-style TeX systems are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns.
