Struct `std.uni.unicode`

A single entry point to lookup Unicode code point sets by name or alias of a block, script or general category.


						
				struct unicode
				;

It uses well defined standard rules of property name lookup. This includes fuzzy matching of names, so that 'White_Space', 'white-SpAce' and 'whitespace' are all considered equal and yield the same set of white space characters.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
`opDispatch`[get]	`auto`	Performs the lookup of set of code points with compile-time correctness checking. This short-cut version combines 3 searches: across blocks, scripts, and common binary properties.

Methods

Name	Description
`opCall` (name)	The same lookup across blocks, scripts, or binary properties, but performed at run-time. This version is provided for cases where `name` is not known beforehand; otherwise compile-time checked `opDispatch` is typically a better choice.
`parseSet` (range, casefold)	Parse unicode codepoint set from given `range` using standard regex syntax '[...]'. The range is advanced skiping over regex set definition. `casefold` parameter determines if the set should be casefolded - that is include both lower and upper case versions for any letters in the set.

Inner structs

Name	Description
`block`	Narrows down the search for sets of code points to all Unicode blocks.
`hangulSyllableType`	Fetch a set of code points that have the given hangul syllable type.
`script`	Narrows down the search for sets of code points to all Unicode scripts.
