UCD Name database

=================

This repository offers the mapping between Unicode code points and

their standard name in various formats:

- ``ucd.json``: JSON (RFC 4627, ECMA-404)

- ``ucd.html``: HTML

- ``ucd.h``: C/C++ header file, with preprocessor macro definitions

- ``ucd.py``: Python module

The data is converted from the official Unicode Character Database (http://www.unicode.org/ucd/).

See the ``tables`` subdirectory for the generated files.

You can use the Python module as follows:

- you know a character's name, you want to know its code.

  For example, you want to know which code corresponds to "COMET":

  .. code:: python

     import ucd

     print (hex(ucd.COMET))  # should print 2604

     # alternatively:

     name = "COMET"

     print (hex(getattr(ucd, name)))

- you know the character's code, you want to know its name.

  For example, you want to know what is the standard name of character

  0x262f:

  .. code:: python

     import ucd

     print (ucd.names[0x262f])  # should print YIN YANG
