+## StaticStringy
+
+A static wrapper exists for Stringy methods. All the methods list under
+"Instance methods" are available. For StaticStringy method, the optional
+encoding is expected to be the last argument. The result is not cast, so
+the return value may be of type Stringy, integer, boolean, etc.
+
+```php
+// Translates to Stringy::create('fòôbàř', 'UTF-8')->slice(0, 3);
+StaticStringy::slice('fòôbàř', 0, 3, 'UTF-8');
+```
+
+
 ## Extensions
 
 The following is a list of libraries that extend Stringy:
