RWUCharTraits provides methods for querying the properties of Unicode characters.
The Unicode Standard defines a comprehensive set of properties for each code point in the Unicode character set. The set of properties and the values of those properties are specified by the Unicode Character Database:
http://www.unicode.org/onlinedat/online.html
that is published as part of the Unicode Standard:
http://www.unicode.org/standard/standard.html
Unicode character properties may be either normative or informative, as defined in Chapter 3, "Conformance", of the Unicode Standard:
RWUCharTraits provides access to both normative and informative properties of Unicode characters.
An enumeration used to describe the linguistic direction of a Unicode character code point. The values in this enumeration correspond to the bidirectional category property codes that appear in the file UnicodeData.txt of the Unicode Character Database, as described in
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/
The bidirectional property is a normative property of the Unicode Standard.
| enum RWUCharTraits::Block |
An enumeration used to identify the various Unicode character blocks. The values in this enumeration correspond to the block names that appear in the file Blocks.txt of the Unicode Character Database, as described in Chapter 14, "Code Charts", of the Unicode Standard:
http://www.unicode.org/standard/standard.html
The block property is an informative property of the Unicode Standard.
An enumeration used to identify the combining class property to which each Unicode combining character belongs. See Chapter 3, "Conformance", and Chapter 4, "Character Properties", in the Unicode Standard:
http://www.unicode.org/standard/standard.html
The combining class property is a normative property of the Unicode Standard. The numeric value of each combining class and the number of classes are not normative and may change in future versions of the Unicode Standard.
An enumeration used to describe the display cell width of characters in East Asian text. The values in this enumeration correspond to the East Asian width property values defined in the EastAsianWidth.txt file Unicode Character Database (UCD), as described in Unicode Standard Annex #11, "East Asian Width":
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11
In accordance with changes to the Unicode specification for East Asian Width values, the ICU implementation changed between versions 2.4 and 2.6. Prior to ICU 2.6 (June 2003), the SourcePro Core Internationalization Module used the following declaration for EastAsianWidth:
An enumeration of the general categories used to classify Unicode characters. The values in this enumeration correspond to the general category property codes that appear in the UnicodeData.txt file of the Unicode Character Database, as described in:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/
An enumeration used to identify Unicode scripts. The values in this enumeration correspond to the script property names defined in the Scripts.txt file of the Unicode Character Database, as described in Unicode Technical Report #24, "Script Names":
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24
The script property is an informative property of the Unicode Standard.

inlinestatic |
Returns the value of the bidirectional category property for the Unicode character whose code point is equal to cp. A value of NoBidirectionalCategory is returned if cp is not a valid character. The directional type of a character is defined in the Unicode Character Database:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/
The bidirectional property is a normative property of the Unicode Standard.
|
inlinestatic |
Returns the value in the Block enumeration that identifies the character block which contains the Unicode character whose code point is equal to cp. A value of NoBlock is returned if cp is not a valid character. The character block is determined using information in the Blocks.txt file of the Unicode Character Database:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/
as described in Chapter 14, "Code Charts" of the Unicode Standard:
http://www.unicode.org/standard/standard.html
The block property is an informative property of the Unicode Standard.
|
inlinestatic |
Returns the code point of the Unicode character whose character name property value is equal to the value given for name. Returns a value of 0xFFFF, if no character whose name is name exists.
Each character may have two different names; a deprecated name, as originally defined by Unicode 1.0, and a standard name, as defined in subsequent versions of the standard. These names are defined in the UnicodeData.txt file of the Unicode Character Database:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/
isDeprecatedName equals true indicates that name is a character name defined in Version 1.0 of the Unicode Standard; false indicates that name is a character name defined in Version 2.0 and subsequent versions of the Unicode Standard. The default value is false.
The character name property is a normative property of the Unicode Standard.
| RWUException | Thrown if an error occurs. |
|
inlinestatic |
Returns the value of the combining class property for the Unicode character whose code point is cp. Each combining character is assigned a number that identifies the set containing all of the combining characters it typographically interacts with. See Chapter 3, "Conformance", of the Unicode Standard:
http://www.unicode.org/standard/standard.html
The combining class property is a normative property of the Unicode Standard. The numeric value of each combining class and the number of classes are not normative and may change in future versions of the Unicode Standard. The relative ordering of the classes is normative.
|
inlinestatic |
Returns the value of the decimal digit property for the Unicode character whose code point is equal to cp, if that character possesses the decimal digit property; otherwise, -1. The numeric value of a decimal digit is determined using information in the file UnicodeData.txt as described in:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/
See Chapter 3, "Conformance", and Chapter 4, "Character Properties", of the Unicode Standard:
http://www.unicode.org/standard/standard.html
The decimal digit value property is a normative property of the Unicode Standard.
|
inlinestatic |
Returns the RWUChar32 code point corresponding to the US-ASCII character in the range [0-9a-z]. Converts an integer value into a corresponding US-ASCII alphanumeric digit, given some radix in the range 2-36. value must be in the range 0 <= digit <= radix. For example, RWUCharTraits::getDigit(15, 16) returns the code point for f (U+0066).
In case of invalid value or invalid radix or the combination, returns null.
|
inlinestatic |
Returns the value of the East Asian width property for the Unicode character whose code point is equal to cp. The display cell width of an East-Asian character is determined using information in the file EastAsianWidth.txt of the Unicode Character Database:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/
The Unicode Standard contains a complete set of precomposed modern Hangul syllables, as well as the set of conjoining jamo characters required to encode both modern and archaic syllable blocks. The Hangul jamo characters can be organized into the following classes:
When used with Korean Hangul, this function treats choseong jamo as double-width characters, and jungseong and jongseong jamo as zero-width characters. The result is correct only if the specified character is a precomposed choseong character and not part of a sequence of two choseong characters.
The East Asian width property is an informative property of the Unicode Standard. For more information, see Unicode Technical Report #11, "East Asian Character Width":
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/

http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/
This method can only handle simple case conversions. For locale-specific case conversions, use RWUString::toLower().
The case property is a normative property of the Unicode Standard. The lowercase mapping is an informative property of the Unicode Standard.
