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 your operating system's user cache directory (determined by platformdirs) in a folder called youseedee.
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'}
