100 =head2 code point argument
102 Some of the functions are called with a I<code point argument>, which is either
103 a decimal or a hexadecimal scalar designating a Unicode code point, or C<U+>
104 followed by hexadecimals designating a Unicode code point. In other words, if
105 you want a code point to be interpreted as a hexadecimal number, you must
106 prefix it with either C<0x> or C<U+>, because a string like e.g. C<123> will be
107 interpreted as a decimal code point. Note that the largest code point in

141 This returns information about the input L</code point argument>
142 as a reference to a hash of fields as defined by the Unicode
143 standard. If the L</code point argument> is not assigned in the standard
144 (i.e., has the general category C<Cn> meaning C<Unassigned>)
145 or is a non-character (meaning it is guaranteed to never be assigned in
147 C<undef> is returned.
149 Fields that aren't applicable to the particular code point argument exist in the
150 returned hash, and are empty.
152 The keys in the hash with the meanings of their values are:
158 the input L</code point argument> expressed in hexadecimal, with leading zeros
159 added if necessary to make it contain at least four hexdigits
163 name of I<code>, all IN UPPER CASE.
164 Some control-type code points do not have names.
165 This field will be empty for C<Surrogate> and C<Private Use> code points,
166 and for the others without a name,
167 it will contain a description enclosed in angle brackets, like
168 C<E<lt>controlE<gt>>.
173 The short name of the general category of I<code>.
174 This will match one of the keys in the hash returned by L</general_categories()>.
176 The L</prop_value_aliases()> function can be used to get all the synonyms
177 of the category name.
181 the combining class number for I<code> used in the Canonical Ordering Algorithm.
182 For Unicode 5.1, this is described in Section 3.11 C<Canonical Ordering Behavior>
184 L<http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/>
186 The L</prop_value_aliases()> function can be used to get all the synonyms
187 of the combining class number.
191 bidirectional type of I<code>.
192 This will match one of the keys in the hash returned by L</bidi_types()>.
194 The L</prop_value_aliases()> function can be used to get all the synonyms
195 of the bidi type name.
197 =item B<decomposition>
199 is empty if I<code> has no decomposition; or is one or more codes
200 (separated by spaces) that, taken in order, represent a decomposition for
201 I<code>. Each has at least four hexdigits.
202 The codes may be preceded by a word enclosed in angle brackets then a space,
203 like C<E<lt>compatE<gt> >, giving the type of decomposition
205 This decomposition may be an intermediate one whose components are also
206 decomposable. Use L<Unicode::Normalize> to get the final decomposition.
210 if I<code> is a decimal digit this is its integer numeric value
214 if I<code> represents some other digit-like number, this is its integer
219 if I<code> represents a whole or rational number, this is its numeric value.
220 Rational values are expressed as a string like C<1/4>.
224 C<Y> or C<N> designating if I<code> is mirrored in bidirectional text
228 name of I<code> in the Unicode 1.0 standard if one
229 existed for this code point and is different from the current name
233 As of Unicode 6.0, this is always empty.
237 is empty if there is no single code point uppercase mapping for I<code>
238 (its uppercase mapping is itself);
239 otherwise it is that mapping expressed as at least four hexdigits.
240 (L</casespec()> should be used in addition to B<charinfo()>
241 for case mappings when the calling program can cope with multiple code point
246 is empty if there is no single code point lowercase mapping for I<code>
247 (its lowercase mapping is itself);
248 otherwise it is that mapping expressed as at least four hexdigits.
249 (L</casespec()> should be used in addition to B<charinfo()>
250 for case mappings when the calling program can cope with multiple code point
255 is empty if there is no single code point titlecase mapping for I<code>
256 (its titlecase mapping is itself);

275 Note that you cannot do (de)composition and casing based solely on the
276 I<decomposition>, I<combining>, I<lower>, I<upper>, and I<title> fields;
277 you will need also the L</compexcl()>, and L</casespec()> functions.

812 names (such as C<Left-to-Right>, C<Right-to-Left>) as values. The
813 hash is reversible in case you need to go from the long names to the
814 short names. The bidi type is the one returned from
816 under the C<bidi> key. For the exact meaning of the various bidi classes

834 my $compexcl = compexcl(0x09dc);
836 This routine is included for backwards compatibility, but as of Perl 5.12, for
837 most purposes it is probably more convenient to use one of the following
840 my $compexcl = chr(0x09dc) =~ /\p{Comp_Ex};
841 my $compexcl = chr(0x09dc) =~ /\p{Full_Composition_Exclusion};
845 my $compexcl = chr(0x09dc) =~ /\p{CE};
846 my $compexcl = chr(0x09dc) =~ /\p{Composition_Exclusion};
848 The first two forms return B<true> if the L</code point argument> should not
849 be produced by composition normalization. For the final two forms to return
850 B<true>, it is additionally required that this fact not otherwise be
851 determinable from the Unicode data base.
853 This routine behaves identically to the final two forms. That is,
854 it does not return B<true> if the code point has a decomposition
855 consisting of another single code point, nor if its decomposition starts
856 with a code point whose combining class is non-zero. Code points that meet
857 either of these conditions should also not be produced by composition
858 normalization, which is probably why you should use the
859 C<Full_Composition_Exclusion> property instead, as shown above.

919 is empty, or is exactly one code with at least four hexdigits which can be used
920 as an alternative case folding when the calling program cannot cope with the
921 fold being a sequence of multiple code points. If I<full> is just one code
922 point, then I<simple> equals I<full>. If there is no single code point folding
923 defined for I<code>, then I<simple> is the empty string. Otherwise, it is an
924 inferior, but still better-than-nothing alternative folding to I<full>.
928 is the same as I<simple> if I<simple> is not empty, and it is the same as I<full>
929 otherwise. It can be considered to be the simplest possible folding for
930 I<code>. It is defined primarily for backwards compatibility.
934 is C<C> (for C<common>) if the best possible fold is a single code point
935 (I<simple> equals I<full> equals I<mapping>). It is C<S> if there are distinct

965 spaces) that, taken in order, give the code points for the case folding for
966 I<code> in those languages.

977 Programs that want complete generality and the best folding results should use
978 the folding contained in the I<full> field. But note that the fold for some
979 code points will be a sequence of multiple code points.
981 Programs that can't cope with the fold mapping being multiple code points can
982 use the folding contained in the I<simple> field, with the loss of some
983 generality. In Unicode 5.1, about 7% of the defined foldings have no single

1102 Each has at least four hexdigits.

1107 code points for the upper case of I<code>.
1108 Each has at least four hexdigits.
1112 the conditions for the mappings to be valid.
1113 If C<undef>, the mappings are always valid.
1114 When defined, this field is a list of conditions,
1115 all of which must be true for the mappings to be valid.
1116 The list consists of one or more
1117 I<locales> (see below)
1118 and/or I<contexts> (explained in the next paragraph),
1119 separated by spaces.
1120 (Other than as used to separate elements, spaces are to be ignored.)
1121 Case distinctions in the condition list are not significant.
1122 Conditions preceded by "NON_" represent the negation of the condition.
1124 A I<context> is one of those defined in the Unicode standard.
1125 For Unicode 5.1, they are defined in Section 3.13 C<Default Case Operations>
1127 L<http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/>.
1128 These are for context-sensitive casing.
1132 The hash described above is returned for locale-independent casing, where
1133 at least one of the mappings has length longer than one. If C<undef> is
1134 returned, the code point may have mappings, but if so, all are length one,
1135 and are returned by L</charinfo()>.
1136 Note that when this function does return a value, it will be for the complete
1137 set of mappings for a code point, even those whose length is one.
1139 If there are additional casing rules that apply only in certain locales,
1140 an additional key for each will be defined in the returned hash. Each such key
1141 will be its locale name, defined as a 2-letter ISO 3166 country code, possibly
1142 followed by a "_" and a 2-letter ISO language code (possibly followed by a "_"
1143 and a variant code). You can find the lists of all possible locales, see
1144 L<Locale::Country> and L<Locale::Language>.
1145 (In Unicode 6.0, the only locales returned by this function
1146 are C<lt>, C<tr>, and C<az>.)
1148 Each locale key is a reference to a hash that has the form above, and gives
1149 the casing rules for that particular locale, which take precedence over the
1150 locale-independent ones when in that locale.
1152 If the only casing for a code point is locale-dependent, then the returned
1153 hash will not have any of the base keys, like C<code>, C<upper>, etc., but
1154 will contain only locale keys.

1382 If the string is more than one character, C<undef> is returned unless
1383 all its characters are decimal digits (that is, they would match C<\d+>),
1384 from the same script. For example if you have an ASCII '0' and a Bengali
1385 '3', mixed together, they aren't considered a valid number, and C<undef>
1386 is returned. A further restriction is that the digits all have to be of
1387 the same form. A half-width digit mixed with a full-width one will
1388 return C<undef>. The Arabic script has two sets of digits; C<num> will
1389 return C<undef> unless all the digits in the string come from the same
1392 C<num> errs on the side of safety, and there may be valid strings of
1393 decimal digits that it doesn't recognize. Note that Unicode defines
1394 a number of "digit" characters that aren't "decimal digit" characters.
1395 "Decimal digits" have the property that they have a positional value, i.e.,
1396 there is a units position, a 10's position, a 100's, etc, AND they are
1397 arranged in Unicode in blocks of 10 contiguous code points. The Chinese
1398 digits, for example, are not in such a contiguous block, and so Unicode
1399 doesn't view them as decimal digits, but merely digits, and so C<\d> will not
1400 match them. A single-character string containing one of these digits will
1401 have its decimal value returned by C<num>, but any longer string containing
1402 only these digits will return C<undef>.
1404 Strings of multiple sub- and superscripts are not recognized as numbers. You
1405 can use either of the compatibility decompositions in Unicode::Normalize to
1406 change these into digits, and then call C<num> on the result.

1453 Most Unicode properties have several synonymous names. Typically, there is at
1454 least a short name, convenient to type, and a long name that more fully
1455 describes the property, and hence is more easily understood.
1457 If you know one name for a Unicode property, you can use C<prop_aliases> to find
1458 either the long name (when called in scalar context), or a list of all of the
1459 names, somewhat ordered so that the short name is in the 0th element, the long
1460 name in the next element, and any other synonyms are in the remaining
1461 elements, in no particular order.
1463 The long name is returned in a form nicely capitalized, suitable for printing.
1465 The input parameter name is loosely matched, which means that white space,
1466 hyphens, and underscores are ignored (except for the trailing underscore in
1467 the old_form grandfathered-in C<"L_">, which is better written as C<"LC">, and
1468 both of which mean C<General_Category=Cased Letter>).
1470 If the name is unknown, C<undef> is returned (or an empty list in list
1471 context). Note that Perl typically recognizes property names in regular
1472 expressions with an optional C<"Is_>" (with or without the underscore)
1473 prefixed to them, such as C<\p{isgc=punct}>. This function does not recognize
1474 those in the input, returning C<undef>. Nor are they included in the output
1475 as possible synonyms.
1477 C<prop_aliases> does know about the Perl extensions to Unicode properties,
1478 such as C<Any> and C<XPosixAlpha>, and the single form equivalents to Unicode
1479 properties such as C<XDigit>, C<Greek>, C<In_Greek>, and C<Is_Greek>. The
1480 final example demonstrates that the C<"Is_"> prefix is recognized for these
1481 extensions; it is needed to resolve ambiguities. For example,
1482 C<prop_aliases('lc')> returns the list C<(lc, Lowercase_Mapping)>, but
1483 C<prop_aliases('islc')> returns C<(Is_LC, Cased_Letter)>. This is
1484 because C<islc> is a Perl extension which is short for
1485 C<General_Category=Cased Letter>. The lists returned for the Perl extensions
1486 will not include the C<"Is_"> prefix (whether or not the input had it) unless
1487 needed to resolve ambiguities, as shown in the C<"islc"> example, where the
1488 returned list had one element containing C<"Is_">, and the other without.
1490 It is also possible for the reverse to happen: C<prop_aliases('isc')> returns
1491 the list C<(isc, ISO_Comment)>; whereas C<prop_aliases('c')> returns
1492 C<(C, Other)> (the latter being a Perl extension meaning
1493 C<General_Category=Other>.
1494 L<perluniprops/Properties accessible through Unicode::UCD> lists the available
1495 forms, including which ones are discouraged from use.
1497 Those discouraged forms are accepted as input to C<prop_aliases>, but are not
1498 returned in the lists. C<prop_aliases('isL&')> and C<prop_aliases('isL_')>,
1499 which are old synonyms for C<"Is_LC"> and should not be used in new code, are
1500 examples of this. These both return C<(Is_LC, Cased_Letter)>. Thus this
1501 function allows you to take a discourarged form, and find its acceptable
1502 alternatives. The same goes with single-form Block property equivalences.
1503 Only the forms that begin with C<"In_"> are not discouraged; if you pass
1504 C<prop_aliases> a discouraged form, you will get back the equivalent ones that
1505 begin with C<"In_">. It will otherwise look like a new-style block name (see.
1506 L</Old-style versus new-style block names>).
1508 C<prop_aliases> does not know about any user-defined properties, and will
1509 return C<undef> if called with one of those. Likewise for Perl internal
1510 properties, with the exception of "Perl_Decimal_Digit" which it does know
1511 about (and which is documented below in L</prop_invmap()>).

1696 Some Unicode properties have a restricted set of legal values. For example,
1697 all binary properties are restricted to just C<true> or C<false>; and there
1698 are only a few dozen possible General Categories.
1700 For such properties, there are usually several synonyms for each possible
1701 value. For example, in binary properties, I<truth> can be represented by any of
1702 the strings "Y", "Yes", "T", or "True"; and the General Category
1703 "Punctuation" by that string, or "Punct", or simply "P".
1705 Like property names, there is typically at least a short name for each such
1706 property-value, and a long name. If you know any name of the property-value,
1707 you can use C<prop_value_aliases>() to get the long name (when called in
1708 scalar context), or a list of all the names, with the short name in the 0th
1709 element, the long name in the next element, and any other synonyms in the
1710 remaining elements, in no particular order, except that any all-numeric
1711 synonyms will be last.
1713 The long name is returned in a form nicely capitalized, suitable for printing.
1715 Case, white space, hyphens, and underscores are ignored in the input parameters
1716 (except for the trailing underscore in the old-form grandfathered-in general
1717 category property value C<"L_">, which is better written as C<"LC">).
1719 If either name is unknown, C<undef> is returned. Note that Perl typically
1720 recognizes property names in regular expressions with an optional C<"Is_>"
1721 (with or without the underscore) prefixed to them, such as C<\p{isgc=punct}>.

1726 returns the input value, possibly normalized with capitalization and

1833 use Unicode::UCD 'prop_invlist';
1834 say join ", ", prop_invlist("Any");
1839 An empty list is returned if the input is unknown; the number of elements in
1840 the list is returned if called in scalar context.
1842 L<perluniprops|perluniprops/Properties accessible through \p{} and \P{}> gives
1843 the list of properties that this function accepts, as well as all the possible
1844 forms for them (including with the optional "Is_" prefixes). (Except this
1845 function doesn't accept any Perl-internal properties, some of which are listed
1846 there.) This function uses the same loose or tighter matching rules for
1847 resolving the input property's name as is done for regular expressions. These
1848 are also specified in L<perluniprops|perluniprops/Properties accessible
1849 through \p{} and \P{}>. Examples of using the "property=value" form are:
1851 say join ", ", prop_invlist("Script=Shavian");
1856 say join ", ", prop_invlist("ASCII_Hex_Digit=No");
1859 0, 48, 58, 65, 71, 97, 103
1861 say join ", ", prop_invlist("ASCII_Hex_Digit=Yes");
1864 48, 58, 65, 71, 97, 103
1866 Inversion lists are a compact way of specifying Unicode property-value
1867 definitions. The 0th item in the list is the lowest code point that has the
1868 property-value. The next item (item [1]) is the lowest code point beyond that
1869 one that does NOT have the property-value. And the next item beyond that
1870 ([2]) is the lowest code point beyond that one that does have the
1871 property-value, and so on. Put another way, each element in the list gives
1872 the beginning of a range that has the property-value (for even numbered
1873 elements), or doesn't have the property-value (for odd numbered elements).
1874 The name for this data structure stems from the fact that each element in the
1875 list toggles (or inverts) whether the corresponding range is or isn't on the
1878 In the final example above, the first ASCII Hex digit is code point 48, the
1879 character "0", and all code points from it through 57 (a "9") are ASCII hex
1880 digits. Code points 58 through 64 aren't, but 65 (an "A") through 70 (an "F")
1881 are, as are 97 ("a") through 102 ("f"). 103 starts a range of code points
1882 that aren't ASCII hex digits. That range extends to infinity, which on your
1883 computer can be found in the variable C<$Unicode::UCD::MAX_CP>. (This
1884 variable is as close to infinity as Perl can get on your platform, and may be
1885 too high for some operations to work; you may wish to use a smaller number for
1888 Note that the inversion lists returned by this function can possibly include
1889 non-Unicode code points, that is anything above 0x10FFFF. This is in
1890 contrast to Perl regular expression matches on those code points, in which a
1891 non-Unicode code point always fails to match. For example, both of these have
1894 chr(0x110000) =~ \p{ASCII_Hex_Digit=True} # Fails.
1895 chr(0x110000) =~ \p{ASCII_Hex_Digit=False} # Fails!
1897 And both raise a warning that a Unicode property is being used on a
1898 non-Unicode code point. It is arguable as to which is the correct thing to do
1899 here. This function has chosen the way opposite to the Perl regular
1900 expression behavior. This allows you to easily flip to to the Perl regular
1901 expression way (for you to go in the other direction would be far harder).
1902 Simply add 0x110000 at the end of the non-empty returned list if it isn't
1903 already that value; and pop that value if it is; like:
1905 my @list = prop_invlist("foo");
1907 if ($list[-1] == 0x110000) {
1908 pop @list; # Defeat the turning on for above Unicode
1911 push @list, 0x110000; # Turn off for above Unicode
1915 It is a simple matter to expand out an inversion list to a full list of all
1916 code points that have the property-value:
1918 my @invlist = prop_invlist($property_name);
1919 die "empty" unless @invlist;

2133 C<prop_invmap> is used to get the complete mapping definition for a property,
2134 in the form of an inversion map. An inversion map consists of two parallel
2135 arrays. One is an ordered list of code points that mark range beginnings, and
2136 the other gives the value (or mapping) that all code points in the
2137 corresponding range have.
2139 C<prop_invmap> is called with the name of the desired property. The name is
2140 loosely matched, meaning that differences in case, white-space, hyphens, and
2141 underscores are not meaningful (except for the trailing underscore in the
2142 old-form grandfathered-in property C<"L_">, which is better written as C<"LC">,
2143 or even better, C<"Gc=LC">).
2145 Many Unicode properties have more than one name (or alias). C<prop_invmap>
2146 understands all of these, including Perl extensions to them. Ambiguities are
2147 resolved as described above for L</prop_aliases()>. The Perl internal
2148 property "Perl_Decimal_Digit, described below, is also accepted. C<undef> is
2149 returned if the property name is unknown.
2150 See L<perluniprops/Properties accessible through Unicode::UCD> for the
2151 properties acceptable as inputs to this function.
2153 It is a fatal error to call this function except in list context.
2155 In addition to the the two arrays that form the inversion map, C<prop_invmap>
2156 returns two other values; one is a scalar that gives some details as to the
2157 format of the entries of the map array; the other is used for specialized
2158 purposes, described at the end of this section.
2160 This means that C<prop_invmap> returns a 4 element list. For example,
2162 my ($blocks_ranges_ref, $blocks_maps_ref, $format, $default)
2163 = prop_invmap("Block");
2165 In this call, the two arrays will be populated as shown below (for Unicode
2168 Index @blocks_ranges @blocks_maps
2169 0 0x0000 Basic Latin
2170 1 0x0080 Latin-1 Supplement

2187 241 0x100000 Supplementary Private Use Area-B
2188 242 0x110000 No_Block
2190 The first line (with Index [0]) means that the value for code point 0 is "Basic
2191 Latin". The entry "0x0080" in the @blocks_ranges column in the second line
2192 means that the value from the first line, "Basic Latin", extends to all code
2193 points in the range from 0 up to but not including 0x0080, that is, through
2194 255. In other words, the code points from 0 to 255 are all in the "Basic
2195 Latin" block. Similarly, all code points in the range from 0x0080 up to (but
2196 not including) 0x0100 are in the block named "Latin-1 Supplement", etc.
2197 (Notice that the return is the old-style block names; see L</Old-style versus
2198 new-style block names>).
2200 The final line (with Index [242]) means that the value for all code points above
2201 the legal Unicode maximum code point have the value "No_Block", which is the
2202 term Unicode uses for a non-existing block.
2204 The arrays completely specify the mappings for all possible code points.
2205 The final element in an inversion map returned by this function will always be
2206 for the range that consists of all the code points that aren't legal Unicode,
2207 but that are expressible on the platform. (That is, it starts with code point
2208 0x110000, the first code point above the legal Unicode maximum, and extends to
2209 infinity.) The value for that range will be the same that any typical
2210 unassigned code point has for the specified property. (Certain unassigned
2211 code points are not "typical"; for example the non-character code points, or
2212 those in blocks that are to be written right-to-left. The above-Unicode
2213 range's value is not based on these atypical code points.) It could be argued
2214 that, instead of treating these as unassigned Unicode code points, the value
2215 for this range should be C<undef>. If you wish, you can change the returned
2218 The maps are almost always simple scalars that should be interpreted as-is.
2219 These values are those given in the Unicode-supplied data files, which may be
2220 inconsistent as to capitalization and as to which synonym for a property-value
2221 is given. The results may be normalized by using the L</prop_value_aliases()>
2224 There are exceptions to the simple scalar maps. Some properties have some
2225 elements in their map list that are themselves lists of scalars; and some
2226 special strings are returned that are not to be interpreted as-is. Element
2227 [2] (placed into C<$format> in the example above) of the returned four element
2228 list tells you if the map has any of these special elements, as follows:
2234 means all the elements of the map array are simple scalars, with no special
2235 elements. Almost all properties are like this, like the C<block> example
2240 means that some of the map array elements have the form given by C<s>, and
2241 the rest are lists of scalars. For example, here is a portion of the output
2242 of calling C<prop_invmap>() with the "Script Extensions" property:
2244 @scripts_ranges @scripts_maps
2247 0x0964 [ Bengali, Devanagari, Gurumukhi, Oriya ]
2251 Here, the code points 0x964 and 0x965 are used in the Bengali,
2252 Devanagari, Gurmukhi, and Oriya scripts.
2254 The Name_Alias property is of this form. But each scalar consists of two
2255 components: 1) the name, and 2) the type of alias this is. They are
2256 separated by a colon and a space. In Unicode 6.1, there are several alias types:
2262 indicates that the name is a corrected form for the
2263 original name (which remains valid) for the same code point.
2267 adds a new name for a control character.
2271 is an alternate name for a character
2275 is a name for a character that has been documented but was never in any
2278 =item C<abbreviation>
2280 is a common abbreviation for a character
2284 The lists are ordered (roughly) so the most preferred names come before less
2289 @aliases_ranges @alias_maps

2297 0x00AD 'SHY: abbreviation'
2299 0x01A2 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER GHA: correction'
2300 0x01A3 'LATIN SMALL LETTER GHA: correction'
2304 A map to the empty string means that there is no alias defined for the code
2309 means that all the elements of the map array are either rational numbers or
2310 the string C<"NaN">, meaning "Not a Number". A rational number is either an
2311 integer, or two integers separated by a solidus (C<"/">). The second integer
2312 represents the denominator of the division implied by the solidus, and is
2313 guaranteed not to be 0. If you want to convert them to scalar numbers, you
2314 can use something like this:
2316 my ($invlist_ref, $invmap_ref, $format) = prop_invmap($property);
2317 if ($format && $format eq "r") {
2318 map { $_ = eval $_ } @$invmap_ref;

2347 is like C<s> in that all the map array elements are scalars, but some of them
2348 are the special string S<C<"E<lt>code pointE<gt>">>, meaning that the map of
2349 each code point in the corresponding range in the inversion list is the code
2350 point itself. For example, in:
2352 my ($uppers_ranges_ref, $uppers_maps_ref, $format)
2353 = prop_invmap("Simple_Uppercase_Mapping");
2355 the returned arrays look like this:
2357 @$uppers_ranges_ref @$uppers_maps_ref Note
2359 97 65 'a' maps to 'A'
2367 181 924 MICRO SIGN => Greek Cap MU
2371 The first line means that the uppercase of code point 0 is 0;
2372 the uppercase of code point 1 is 1; ... of code point 96 is 96. Without the
2373 C<"E<lt>code_pointE<gt>"> notation, every code point would have to have an
2374 entry. This would mean that the arrays would each have more than a million
2375 entries to list just the legal Unicode code points!
2379 means that some of the map array elements have the form given by C<c>, and
2380 the rest are ordered lists of code points.
2383 my ($uppers_ranges_ref, $uppers_maps_ref, $format)
2384 = prop_invmap("Uppercase_Mapping");
2386 the returned arrays look like this:
2388 @$uppers_ranges_ref @$uppers_maps_ref
2397 0x0149 [ 0x02BC 0x004E ]
2398 0x014A "<code point>"
2402 This is the full Uppercase_Mapping property (as opposed to the
2403 Simple_Uppercase_Mapping given in the example for format C<"c">). The only
2404 difference between the two in the ranges shown is that the code point at
2405 0x0149 (LATIN SMALL LETTER N PRECEDED BY APOSTROPHE) maps to a string of two
2406 characters, 0x02BC (MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE) followed by 0x004E (LATIN
2411 means that some of the map array elements have the forms given by C<cl>, and
2412 the rest are the empty string. The property C<NFKC_Casefold> has this form.
2413 An example slice is:
2415 @$ranges_ref @$maps_ref Note
2417 0x00AA 0x0061 FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR => 'a'
2419 0x00AD SOFT HYPHEN => ""
2421 0x00AF [ 0x0020, 0x0304 ] MACRON => SPACE . COMBINING MACRON
2427 means the Name property. All the elements of the map array are simple
2428 scalars, but some of them contain special strings that require more work to
2429 get the actual name.
2433 CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-<code point>
2435 mean that the name for the code point is "CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-"
2436 with the code point (expressed in hexadecimal) appended to it, like "CJK
2437 UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-3403" (similarly for C<CJK COMPATIBILITY IDEOGRAPH-E<lt>code
2444 means that the name is algorithmically calculated. This is easily done by
2445 the function L<charnames/charnames::viacode(code)>.
2447 Note that for control characters (C<Gc=cc>), Unicode's data files have the
2448 string "C<E<lt>controlE<gt>>", but the real name of each of these characters is the empty
2449 string. This function returns that real name, the empty string. (There are
2450 names for these characters, but they are aliases, not the real name, and are
2451 contained in the C<Name_Alias> property.)
2455 means the Decomposition_Mapping property. This property is like C<cl>
2456 properties, except it has an additional entry type:
2460 for those code points whose decomposition is algorithmically calculated. (The
2461 C<n> format has this same entry.) These can be generated via the function
2462 L<Unicode::Normalize::NFD()|Unicode::Normalize>.
2465 Note that the mapping is the one that is specified in the Unicode data files,
2466 and to get the final decomposition, it may need to be applied recursively.
2470 A binary search can be used to quickly find a code point in the inversion
2471 list, and hence its corresponding mapping.
2473 The final element (index [3], assigned to C<$default> in the "block" example) in
2474 the four element list returned by this function may be useful for applications
2475 that wish to convert the returned inversion map data structure into some
2476 other, such as a hash. It gives the mapping that most code points map to
2477 under the property. If you establish the convention that any code point not
2478 explicitly listed in your data structure maps to this value, you can
2479 potentially make your data structure much smaller. As you construct your data
2480 structure from the one returned by this function, simply ignore those ranges
2481 that map to this value, generally called the "default" value. For example, to
2482 convert to the data structure searchable by L</charinrange()>, you can follow
2485 my ($list_ref, $map_ref, $format, $missing) = prop_invmap($property);
2487 for my $i (0 .. @$list_ref - 2) {
2488 next if $map_ref->[$i] eq $missing;
2489 push @range_list, [ $list_ref->[$i],
2495 print charinrange(\@range_list, $code_point), "\n";
2498 With this, C<charinrange()> will return C<undef> if its input code point maps
2499 to C<$missing>. You can avoid this by omitting the C<next> statement, and adding
2500 a line after the loop to handle the final element of the inversion map.
2502 One internal Perl property is accessible by this function.
2503 "Perl_Decimal_Digit" returns an inversion map in which all the Unicode decimal
2504 digits map to their numeric values, and everything else to the empty string,
2524 Note that the inversion maps returned for the C<Case_Folding> and
2525 C<Simple_Case_Folding> properties do not include the Turkic-locale mappings.
2526 Use L</casefold()> for these.
2528 C<prop_invmap> does not know about any user-defined properties, and will
2529 return C<undef> if called with one of those.

3168 =head2 B<Blocks versus Scripts>
3170 The difference between a block and a script is that scripts are closer
3171 to the linguistic notion of a set of code points required to present
3172 languages, while block is more of an artifact of the Unicode code point
3173 numbering and separation into blocks of (mostly) 256 code points.
3175 For example the Latin B<script> is spread over several B<blocks>, such
3176 as C<Basic Latin>, C<Latin 1 Supplement>, C<Latin Extended-A>, and
3177 C<Latin Extended-B>. On the other hand, the Latin script does not
3178 contain all the characters of the C<Basic Latin> block (also known as
3179 ASCII): it includes only the letters, and not, for example, the digits
3182 For blocks see L<http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt>
3184 For scripts see UTR #24: L<http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr24/>
3186 =head2 B<Matching Scripts and Blocks>
3188 Scripts are matched with the regular-expression construct
3189 C<\p{...}> (e.g. C<\p{Tibetan}> matches characters of the Tibetan script),
3190 while C<\p{Blk=...}> is used for blocks (e.g. C<\p{Blk=Tibetan}> matches
3191 any of the 256 code points in the Tibetan block).
3193 =head2 Old-style versus new-style block names
3195 Unicode publishes the names of blocks in two different styles, though the two
3196 are equivalent under Unicode's loose matching rules.
3198 The original style uses blanks and hyphens in the block names (except for
3199 C<No_Block>), like so:
3201 Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B
3203 The newer style replaces these with underscores, like this:
3205 Miscellaneous_Mathematical_Symbols_B
3207 This newer style is consistent with the values of other Unicode properties.
3208 To preserve backward compatibility, all the functions in Unicode::UCD that
3209 return block names (except one) return the old-style ones. That one function,
3210 L</prop_value_aliases()> can be used to convert from old-style to new-style:
3212 my $new_style = prop_values_aliases("block", $old_style);
3214 Perl also has single-form extensions that refer to blocks, C<In_Cyrillic>,
3215 meaning C<Block=Cyrillic>. These have always been written in the new style.
3217 To convert from new-style to old-style, follow this recipe:
3219 $old_style = charblock((prop_invlist("block=$new_style"))[0]);
3221 (which finds the range of code points in the block using C<prop_invlist>,
3222 gets the lower end of the range (0th element) and then looks up the old name
3223 for its block using C<charblock>).
3225 Note that starting in Unicode 6.1, many of the block names have shorter
3226 synonyms. These are always given in the new style.
