See also L</Blocks versus Scripts>. =cut sub charscripts { _charscripts() unless %SCRIPTS; return dclone \%SCRIPTS; } =head2 Blocks versus Scripts The difference between a block and a script is that scripts are closer to the linguistic notion of a set of characters required to present languages, while block is more of an artifact of the Unicode character numbering and separation into blocks of (mostly) 256 characters. For example the Latin B<script> is spread over several B<blocks>, such as C<Basic Latin>, C<Latin 1 Supplement>, C<Latin Extended-A>, and C<Latin Extended-B>. On the other hand, the Latin script does not contain all the characters of the C<Basic Latin> block (also known as the ASCII): it includes only the letters, and not, for example, the digits or the punctuation. For blocks see http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt For scripts see UTR #24: http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr24/ =head2 Matching Scripts and Blocks Scripts are matched with the regular-expression construct C<\p{...}> (e.g. C<\p{Tibetan}> matches characters of the Tibetan script), while C<\p{In...}> is used for blocks (e.g. C<\p{InTibetan}> matches any of the 256 code points in the Tibetan block). =head2 Code Point Arguments A I<code point argument> is either a decimal or a hexadecimal scalar designating a Unicode character, or C<U+> followed by hexadecimals designating a Unicode character. In other words, if you want a code point to be interpreted as a hexadecimal number, you must prefix it with either C<0x> or C<U+>, because a string like e.g. C<123> will be interpreted as a decimal code point. Also note that Unicode is B<not> limited to 16 bits (the number of Unicode characters is open-ended, in theory unlimited): you may have more than 4 hexdigits. =head2 charinrange In addition to using the C<\p{In...}> and C<\P{In...}> constructs, you can also test whether a code point is in the I<range> as returned by L</charblock> and L</charscript> or as the values of the hash returned by L</charblocks> and L</charscripts> by using charinrange(): use Unicode::UCD qw(charscript charinrange); $range = charscript('Hiragana'); print "looks like hiragana\n" if charinrange($range, $codepoint); =cut my %GENERAL_CATEGORIES = ( 'L' => 'Letter', 'LC' => 'CasedLetter', 'Lu' => 'UppercaseLetter', 'Ll' => 'LowercaseLetter', 'Lt' => 'TitlecaseLetter', 'Lm' => 'ModifierLetter', 'Lo' => 'OtherLetter', 'M' => 'Mark', 'Mn' => 'NonspacingMark', 'Mc' => 'SpacingMark', 'Me' => 'EnclosingMark', 'N' => 'Number', 'Nd' => 'DecimalNumber', 'Nl' => 'LetterNumber', 'No' => 'OtherNumber', 'P' => 'Punctuation', 'Pc' => 'ConnectorPunctuation', 'Pd' => 'DashPunctuation', 'Ps' => 'OpenPunctuation', 'Pe' => 'ClosePunctuation', 'Pi' => 'InitialPunctuation', 'Pf' => 'FinalPunctuation', 'Po' => 'OtherPunctuation', 'S' => 'Symbol', 'Sm' => 'MathSymbol', 'Sc' => 'CurrencySymbol', 'Sk' => 'ModifierSymbol', 'So' => 'OtherSymbol', 'Z' => 'Separator', 'Zs' => 'SpaceSeparator', 'Zl' => 'LineSeparator', 'Zp' => 'ParagraphSeparator', 'C' => 'Other', 'Cc' => 'Control', 'Cf' => 'Format', 'Cs' => 'Surrogate', 'Co' => 'PrivateUse', 'Cn' => 'Unassigned', ); sub general_categories { return dclone \%GENERAL_CATEGORIES; } =head2 general_categories use Unicode::UCD 'general_categories'; my $categories = general_categories(); The general_categories() returns a reference to a hash which has short general category names (such as C<Lu>, C<Nd>, C<Zs>, C<S>) as keys and long names (such as C<UppercaseLetter>, C<DecimalNumber>, C<SpaceSeparator>, C<Symbol>) as values. The hash is reversible in case you need to go from the long names to the short names. The general category is the one returned from charinfo() under the C<category> key. =cut my %BIDI_TYPES = ( 'L' => 'Left-to-Right', 'LRE' => 'Left-to-Right Embedding', 'LRO' => 'Left-to-Right Override', 'R' => 'Right-to-Left', 'AL' => 'Right-to-Left Arabic', 'RLE' => 'Right-to-Left Embedding', 'RLO' => 'Right-to-Left Override', 'PDF' => 'Pop Directional Format', 'EN' => 'European Number', 'ES' => 'European Number Separator', 'ET' => 'European Number Terminator', 'AN' => 'Arabic Number', 'CS' => 'Common Number Separator', 'NSM' => 'Non-Spacing Mark', 'BN' => 'Boundary Neutral', 'B' => 'Paragraph Separator', 'S' => 'Segment Separator', 'WS' => 'Whitespace', 'ON' => 'Other Neutrals', ); sub bidi_types { return dclone \%BIDI_TYPES; } =head2 bidi_types use Unicode::UCD 'bidi_types'; my $categories = bidi_types(); The bidi_types() returns a reference to a hash which has the short bidi (bidirectional) type names (such as C<L>, C<R>) as keys and long names (such as C<Left-to-Right>, C<Right-to-Left>) as values. The hash is reversible in case you need to go from the long names to the short names. The bidi type is the one returned from charinfo() under the C<bidi> key. For the exact meaning of the various bidi classes the Unicode TR9 is recommended reading: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/tr9-17.html (as of Unicode 5.0.0) =cut =head2 compexcl use Unicode::UCD 'compexcl'; my $compexcl = compexcl("09dc"); The compexcl() returns the composition exclusion (that is, if the character should not be produced during a precomposition) of the character specified by a B<code point argument>. If there is a composition exclusion for the character, true is returned. Otherwise, false is returned. =cut my %COMPEXCL; sub _compexcl { unless (%COMPEXCL) { if (openunicode(\$COMPEXCLFH, "CompositionExclusions.txt")) { local $_; while (<$COMPEXCLFH>) { if (/^([0-9A-F]+)\s+\#\s+/) { my $code = hex($1); $COMPEXCL{$code} = undef; } } close($COMPEXCLFH); } } } sub compexcl { my $arg = shift; my $code = _getcode($arg); croak __PACKAGE__, "::compexcl: unknown code '$arg'" unless defined $code; _compexcl() unless %COMPEXCL; return exists $COMPEXCL{$code}; } =head2 casefold use Unicode::UCD 'casefold'; my $casefold = casefold("00DF"); The casefold() returns the locale-independent case folding of the character specified by a B<code point argument>. If there is a case folding for that character, a reference to a hash with the following fields is returned: key code code point with at least four hexdigits status "C", "F", "S", or "I" mapping one or more codes separated by spaces The meaning of the I<status> is as follows: C common case folding, common mappings shared by both simple and full mappings F full case folding, mappings that cause strings to grow in length. Multiple characters are separated by spaces S simple case folding, mappings to single characters where different from F I special case for dotted uppercase I and dotless lowercase i - If this mapping is included, the result is case-insensitive, but dotless and dotted I's are not distinguished - If this mapping is excluded, the result is not fully case-insensitive, but dotless and dotted I's are distinguished If there is no case folding for that character, C<undef> is returned. For more information about case mappings see http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr21/ =cut my %CASEFOLD; sub _casefold { unless (%CASEFOLD) { if (openunicode(\$CASEFOLDFH, "CaseFolding.txt")) { local $_; while (<$CASEFOLDFH>) { if (/^([0-9A-F]+); ([CFSI]); ([0-9A-F]+(?: [0-9A-F]+)*);/) { my $code = hex($1); $CASEFOLD{$code} = { code => $1, status => $2, mapping => $3 }; } } close($CASEFOLDFH); } } } sub casefold { my $arg = shift; my $code = _getcode($arg); croak __PACKAGE__, "::casefold: unknown code '$arg'" unless defined $code; _casefold() unless %CASEFOLD; return $CASEFOLD{$code}; } =head2 casespec use Unicode::UCD 'casespec'; my $casespec = casespec("FB00"); The casespec() returns the potentially locale-dependent case mapping of the character specified by a B<code point argument>. The mapping may change the length of the string (which the basic Unicode case mappings as returned by charinfo() never do). If there is a case folding for that character, a reference to a hash with the following fields is returned: key code code point with at least four hexdigits lower lowercase title titlecase upper uppercase condition condition list (may be undef) The C<condition> is optional. Where present, it consists of one or more I<locales> or I<contexts>, separated by spaces (other than as used to separate elements, spaces are to be ignored). A condition list overrides the normal behavior if all of the listed conditions are true. Case distinctions in the condition list are not significant. Conditions preceded by "NON_" represent the negation of the condition. Note that when there are multiple case folding definitions for a single code point because of different locales, the value returned by casespec() is a hash reference which has the locales as the keys and hash references as described above as the values. A I<locale> is defined as a 2-letter ISO 3166 country code, possibly followed by a "_" and a 2-letter ISO language code (possibly followed by a "_" and a variant code). You can find the lists of those codes, see L<Locale::Country> and L<Locale::Language>. A I<context> is one of the following choices: FINAL The letter is not followed by a letter of general category L (e.g. Ll, Lt, Lu, Lm, or Lo) MODERN The mapping is only used for modern text AFTER_i The last base character was "i" (U+0069) For more information about case mappings see http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr21/ =cut my %CASESPEC; sub _casespec { unless (%CASESPEC) { if (openunicode(\$CASESPECFH, "SpecialCasing.txt")) { local $_; while (<$CASESPECFH>) { if (/^([0-9A-F]+); ([0-9A-F]+(?: [0-9A-F]+)*)?; ([0-9A-F]+(?: [0-9A-F]+)*)?; ([0-9A-F]+(?: [0-9A-F]+)*)?; (\w+(?: \w+)*)?/) { my ($hexcode, $lower, $title, $upper, $condition) = ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5); my $code = hex($hexcode); if (exists $CASESPEC{$code}) { if (exists $CASESPEC{$code}->{code}) { my ($oldlower, $oldtitle, $oldupper, $oldcondition) = @{$CASESPEC{$code}}{qw(lower title upper condition)}; if (defined $oldcondition) { my ($oldlocale) = ($oldcondition =~ /^([a-z][a-z](?:_\S+)?)/); delete $CASESPEC{$code}; $CASESPEC{$code}->{$oldlocale} = { code => $hexcode, lower => $oldlower, title => $oldtitle, upper => $oldupper, condition => $oldcondition }; } } my ($locale) = ($condition =~ /^([a-z][a-z](?:_\S+)?)/); $CASESPEC{$code}->{$locale} = { code => $hexcode, lower => $lower, title => $title, upper => $upper, condition => $condition }; } else { $CASESPEC{$code} = { code => $hexcode, lower => $lower, title => $title, upper => $upper, condition => $condition }; } } } close($CASESPECFH); } } } sub casespec { my $arg = shift; my $code = _getcode($arg); croak __PACKAGE__, "::casespec: unknown code '$arg'" unless defined $code; _casespec() unless %CASESPEC; return ref $CASESPEC{$code} ? dclone $CASESPEC{$code} : $CASESPEC{$code}; } =head2 namedseq() use Unicode::UCD 'namedseq'; my $namedseq = namedseq("KATAKANA LETTER AINU P"); my @namedseq = namedseq("KATAKANA LETTER AINU P"); my %namedseq = namedseq(); If used with a single argument in a scalar context, returns the string consisting of the code points of the named sequence, or C<undef> if no named sequence by that name exists.
