The mapping of the script labels in the UCD data to ISO 15924
script tags is now done using the sc property map in the
PropertyValueAliases data.
This has the following benefits:
1. It removes the dependency on the IANA subtag registry.
2. It ensures the scripts are correct as specified in the
UCD data files.
Unicode Character Data Tools
The Unicode Character Data (UCD) Tools is a library for working with the Unicode Character Data from unicode.org.
It provides a compact replacement for various wide-character C APIs. These can be used in Android applications, as the Android C library does not have full wide-character support.
In addition to this it provides APIs for:
- querying the Unicode General Category values and groups;
- querying the ISO 15924 script;
- converting to upper, lower and title case.
The following data sets are used for the data tables:
Build Dependencies
In order to build ucd-tools, you need:
- a functional autotools system (
make,autoconf,automakeandlibtool); - a functional c++ compiler.
To build the documentation, you need:
- the doxygen program to build the api documentation;
- the dot program from the graphviz library to generate graphs in the api documentation.
Debian
Core Dependencies:
| Dependency | Install |
|---|---|
| autotools | sudo apt-get install make autoconf automake libtool |
| c++ compiler | sudo apt-get install gcc g++ |
Documentation Dependencies:
| Dependency | Install |
|---|---|
| doxygen | sudo apt-get install doxygen |
| graphviz | sudo apt-get install graphviz |
Building
UCD Tools supports the standard GNU autotools build system. The source code
does not contain the generated configure files, so to build it you need to
run:
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
The tests can be run by using:
make check
The program can be installed using:
sudo make install
The documentation can be built using:
make html
Updating the UCD Data
To re-generate the source files from the UCD data when a new version of unicode is released, you need to run:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-unicode-version=VERSION
make ucd-update
where VERSION is the Unicode version (e.g. 6.3.0).
