🔌 API usage
import is_unicode_supported
if is_unicode_supported():
print('Advanced Unicode supported!')
else:
print('Advanced Unicode not supported!')
Note: Most type checkers will falsely warn is_unicode_supported is not a callable module because they are incapable of analyzing runtime behavior (where the module is replaced w/ a function for cleaner, direct access). You can safely suppress such warnings using # type: ignore.
