uucd 4.0.0 · OCaml Package

Unicode character database decoder.

Uucd decodes the data of the Unicode character database from its XML representation. It provides high-level (but not necessarily efficient) access to the data so that efficient representations can be extracted.

Uucd decodes the representation described in the Annex #42 of Unicode 9.0.0. Subsequent versions may be decoded as long as no new cases are introduced in parsed enumerated properties.

Consult the basics.

Note. All strings returned by the module are UTF-8 encoded.

Code points

type cp = int

The type for Unicode code points, ranges from 0x0000 to 0x10_FFFF.

val is_cp : int -> bool

is_cp n is true iff n a Unicode code point.

val is_scalar_value : int -> bool

is_scalar_value n is true iff n is a Unicode scalar value.

module Cpmap : Map.S with type key = cp

Code point maps.

Properties

Properties are referenced by their name and property values by their abbreviated name. To understand their semantics refer to the standard.

type props

The type for sets of properties.

type 'a prop

The type for properties with property value of type 'a.

val find : props -> 'a prop -> 'a option

find ps p is the value of property p in ps, if any.

val unknown_prop : (string * string) -> string prop

unknown_prop (ns, n) is a property read from an XML attribute whose expanded name is (ns, n). This can be used to access a property unknown to the module.

Non Unihan properties

In alphabetical order.

Unicode character databases

type block = (cp * cp) * string

The type for blocks. Code point range, name of the block.

type named_sequence = string * cp list

The type for named sequences. Sequence name, code point sequence.

type normalization_correction = cp * cp list * cp list * (int * int * int)

The type for normalization corrections. Code point, old normalization, new normalization, version

type standardized_variant =
  cp list * string * [ `Isolate | `Initial | `Medial | `Final ] list

The type for standarized variants. Code point sequence, description, when.

type cjk_radical = string * cp * cp

The type for CJK radicals. Radical number, CJK radical character, CJK unified ideograph.

type emoji_source = cp list * int option * int option * int option

The type for emoji sources. Unicode, docomo, kddi, softbank.

type t = {

description : string;
repertoire : props Cpmap.t;
blocks : block list;
named_sequences : named_sequence list;
provisional_named_sequences : named_sequence list;
normalization_corrections : normalization_correction list;
standardized_variants : standardized_variant list;
cjk_radicals : cjk_radical list;
emoji_sources : emoji_source list;

}

The type for Unicode character databases.

Note. Absence of an optional top-level field in the database is denoted by the neutral element of its type (empty string, empty list, Cpmap.empty). This means that the module doesn't distinguish between absence of a field and presence of the field with empty data (but incurs no problems in this context).

val cp_prop : t -> cp -> 'a prop -> 'a option

cp_prop ucd cp p is the property p of the code point cp in db's repertoire, if p is in the repertoire and the property exists for p.

Decode

type src = [

| `Channel of in_channel
| `String of string

]

The type for input sources.

type decoder

The type for Unicode character database decoders.

val decoder : [< src ] -> decoder

decoder src is a decoder that inputs from src.

val decode : decoder -> [ `Ok of t | `Error of string ]

decode d decodes a database from d or returns an error.

val decoded_range : decoder -> (int * int) * (int * int)

decoded_range d is the range of characters spanning the `Error decoded by d. A pair of line and column numbers respectively one and zero based.

Basics

The database and subsets of it for Unicode 9.0.0 are available here. Databases with groups should be preferred, they maximize value sharing and improve parsing performance.

A database is decoded as follows:

let ucd_or_die inf = try
  let ic = if inf = "-" then stdin else open_in inf in
  let d = Uucd.decoder (`Channel ic) in
  match Uucd.decode d with
  | `Ok db -> db
  | `Error e ->
    let (l0, c0), (l1, c1) = Uucd.decoded_range d in
    Printf.eprintf "%s:%d.%d-%d.%d: %s\n%!" inf l0 c0 l1 c1 e;
    exit 1
with Sys_error e -> Printf.eprintf "%s\n%!" e; exit 1

let ucd = ucd_or_die "/tmp/ucd.all.grouped.xml"

The convenience function cp_prop can be used to query the property of a given code point. For example the general category of U+1F42B is given by:

let u_1F42B_gc = Uucd.cp_prop ucd 0x1F42B Uucd.general_category

package uucd
