unicode-properties

lib.rs:

Query character Unicode properties according to Unicode Standard Annex #44 and Unicode Technical Standard #51 rules.

Currently we support the General_Category property as well as Emoji and Emoji_Component.

Future properties can be added as requested.

use unicode_properties::UnicodeEmoji;
use unicode_properties::UnicodeGeneralCategory;

fn main() {
    let ch = '🦀'; // U+1F980 CRAB
    let is_emoji = ch.is_emoji_char();
    let group = ch.general_category_group();
    println!("{}({:?})", ch, group);
    println!("The above char {} for use as emoji char.",
             if is_emoji { "is recommended" } else { "is not recommended" });
}
