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;

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" });
