UnicodedataRb

Ruby wrapper for unicode data.

$ gem install unicodedata_rb

The gem already came with UnicodeData.txt version 15.1.0 predownloaded. If you want to redownload a version based on your ruby installation (configured with RbConfig::CONFIG["UNICODE_VERSION"]), run UnicodedataRb.generate_index.

codepoint = UnicodedataRb.codepoint_from_char("n")
# codepoint field names are codepoint, name, category, combining_class, bidi_class, decomposition, digit_value, non_decimal_digit_value, numeric_value, bidi_mirrored, unicode1_name, iso_comment, simple_uppercase_map, simple_lowercase_map, simple_titlecase_map.

puts codepoint.name # should print LATIN SMALL LETTER N

# can also query by code value or name
UnicodedataRb.codepoint_from_name("RIGHT CURLY BRACKET")
UnicodedataRb.codepoint(214) # or UnicodedataRb.codepoint(0x00D6)

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
