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.
These are also updated if new data is available from unicode.org
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'}
