Expand description

icu_properties is one of the ICU4X components.

This component provides definitions of Unicode Properties and APIs for retrieving property data in an appropriate data structure.

APIs that return a UnicodeSet exist for binary properties and certain enumerated properties. See the sets module for more details.

APIs that return a CodePointTrie exist for certain enumerated properties. See the maps module for more details.

Examples

Property data as UnicodeSets

use icu::properties::{maps, sets, GeneralCategory};

let provider = icu_testdata::get_provider();

// A binary property as a `UnicodeSet`

let payload =
    sets::get_emoji(&provider)
        .expect("The data should be valid");
let data_struct = payload.get();
let emoji = &data_struct.inv_list;

assert!(emoji.contains('🎃'));  // U+1F383 JACK-O-LANTERN
assert!(!emoji.contains('木'));  // U+6728

// An individual enumerated property value as a `UnicodeSet`

let payload = maps::get_general_category(&provider)
    .expect("The data should be valid");
let data_struct = payload.get();
let gc = &data_struct.code_point_trie;
let line_sep = gc.get_set_for_value(GeneralCategory::LineSeparator);

assert!(line_sep.contains_u32(0x2028));
assert!(!line_sep.contains_u32(0x2029));

Property data as CodePointTries

use icu::properties::{maps, Script};

let provider = icu_testdata::get_provider();

let payload =
    maps::get_script(&provider)
        .expect("The data should be valid");
let data_struct = payload.get();
let script = &data_struct.code_point_trie;

assert_eq!(script.get('🎃' as u32), Script::Common);  // U+1F383 JACK-O-LANTERN
assert_eq!(script.get('木' as u32), Script::Han);  // U+6728

Modules

This module exposes tooling for running the unicode bidi algorithm using ICU4X data.

The functions in this module return a CodePointTrie representing, for each code point in the entire range of code points, the property values for a particular Unicode property.

Data provider struct definitions for this ICU4X component.

Data and APIs for supporting both Script and Script_Extensions property values in an efficient structure.

The functions in this module return a UnicodeSet containing the set of characters with a particular Unicode property.

Structs

Enumerated property Bidi_Class

Property Canonical_Combining_Class. See UAX #15: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/.

Enumerated property East_Asian_Width.

Groupings of multiple General_Category property values.

Enumerated property Grapheme_Cluster_Break.

Enumerated property Line_Break.

Enumerated property Script.

Enumerated property Sentence_Break. See “Default Sentence Boundary Specification” in UAX #29 for the summary of each property value: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Default_Word_Boundaries.

Enumerated property Word_Break.

Enums

Selection constants for Unicode properties. These constants are used to select one of the Unicode properties. See UProperty in ICU4C.

Enumerated property General_Category.
