Interface to the Unicode Character Database

Project description

This module allows you to query the Unicode Character Database. The main function to be imported is ucd_data:

>>> ucd_data(0x078A)
{'Age': '3.0',
 'Block': 'Thaana',
 'Canonical_Combining_Class': '0',
 'East_Asian_Width': 'N',
 'General_Category': 'Lo',
 'Line_Break': 'AL',
 'Name': 'THAANA LETTER FAAFU',
 'Script': 'Thaana'}

On first run, it will download the database files for you from unicode.org. These are stored in .youseedee in your home directory.

You may also use it as a command line utility:

$ python3 -m youseedee 0x078A
{'Age': '3.0',
 'Block': 'Thaana',
 'Canonical_Combining_Class': '0',
 'East_Asian_Width': 'N',
 'General_Category': 'Lo',
 'Line_Break': 'AL',
 'Name': 'THAANA LETTER FAAFU',
 'Script': 'Thaana'}

$ python3 -m youseedee Ǩ
{'Age': '1.1',
 'Block': 'Latin Extended-B',
 'Canonical_Combining_Class': '0',
 'Case_Folding_Mapping': '01E9',
 'Case_Folding_Status': 'C',
 'East_Asian_Width': 'N',
 'General_Category': 'Lu',
 'Line_Break': 'AL',
 'Name': 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER K WITH CARON',
 'Script': 'Latin'}
