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'}
