Unicode Character Property (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Unicode assigns character properties to each code point. These properties can be used to handle "characters" (code points) in processes, like in line-breaking, script direction right-to-left or applying controls. Slightly inconsequently, some "character properties" are also defined for code points that have no character assigned, and code points that are labeled like ."" Properties have levels of forcefulness: normative, informative, contributory, or provisional. For practical reasons, a character property can be assigned by specifying a continuous range of code points that have the same property.
