Module:Unicode data

Usage

This module provides functions that access information on Unicode code points. The information is retrieved from data modules generated from the Unicode Character Database, or derived by rules given in the Unicode Specification. It and its submodules were copied from English Wiktionary and then modified; see there for more information.

Functions

​lookup_name(codepoint)​

Receives a codepoint (number) and returns its name or label; for example, ​lookup_name(0xA9)​ returns ​"COPYRIGHT SIGN"​.

​lookup, is​

Template-invokable functions that allow access to the functions starting with lookup and is. Replace the first underscore in the function name with a pipe, and add the codepoint in hexadecimal base, or a bit of text, for is_Latin, is_rtl, and is_valid_pagename, as the next parameter. For example, {{#invoke:Unicode data|lookup|name|61}} → <reserved-0061>; {{#invoke:Unicode data|is|Latin|àzàhàr̃iyyā̀}} → .

Data modules

The data used by functions in this module is found on subpages. To see the scripts that were used to construct them, go to User:Kephir/Unicode on English Wiktionary.

• Module:Unicode data/aliases: the formal name aliases for characters (from NameAliases.txt)
• Module:Unicode data/blocks: the list of Unicode blocks (from Blocks.txt)
• Module:Unicode data/category: data mapping characters to their General Category (from DerivedGeneralCategory.txt)
• Module:Unicode data/control: data for identifying characters that belong to the General Categories of Separator and Other (from DerivedGeneralCategory.txt)
• Module:Unicode data/combining: data mapping characters to their Combining Classes (from DerivedCombiningClass.txt)
• Module:Unicode data/Hangul: data used to generate the names of Hangul syllables (from Jamo.txt)
• Module:Unicode data/scripts: data mapping characters to their Unicode script properties (from Scripts.txt).

The name data modules (Module:Unicode data/names/xxx) were compiled from UnicodeData.txt. Each one contains, at maximum, code points U+xxx000 to U+xxxFFF.
