Repository Details

Know your Unicode โœ€

uniscribe | Describe the Unicode [version] [ci]

Describes Unicode characters with their name and shows compositions. UNICODE 15.0*

  • Helps you understand how glyphs and codepoints are structured within the data
  • Gives you the names of glyphs and codepoints, which can be used for further research
  • Highlights invalid/special/blank codepoints

Uses a similar color coding like its lower-level companion tool unibits.

Setup

Make sure you have Ruby installed and installing gems works properly. Then do:

$ gem install uniscribe

Usage

Pass the string to debug to uniscribe:

From CLI

$ uniscribe "test strฤฑฬˆng"

From Ruby

require "uniscribe/kernel_method"
uniscribe "test strฤฑฬˆng"

Output


0074 โ”œโ”€ t		โ”œโ”€ LATIN SMALL LETTER T
0065 โ”œโ”€ e		โ”œโ”€ LATIN SMALL LETTER E
0073 โ”œโ”€ s		โ”œโ”€ LATIN SMALL LETTER S

Examples

Tamil

>> uniscribe "เฎจเฎ•เฎฐเฎคเฏเฎคเฎฟเฎฒเฏ"

Screenshot Tamil

Thai

Screenshot Thai

Ideographic Variations

>> uniscribe "่พป๓ „€ใš‘๓ „"

Screenshot Ideographic Variations

(the variation is not visible in the screenshot, because my system does not render it correctly)

Emoji Sequences

>> uniscribe "3๏ธโƒฃ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™€"

Screenshot Emoji

Lots of Combining Marks

>> uniscribe "องฬพอฌฬงฬถฬจฬฑฬนฬญฬฏCอญฬอฅอฎอŸฬทฬ™ฬฒฬอ–Oอฎอฬฎฬชฬอ"

Screenshot Marks

Random Sequences of some Special Unicode Codepoints

>> uniscribe "\0A\u{E01D7}\x7F\r\n\u{D0000}\u{81}\u{FFF9}B\u{FFFB}๐Ÿด\u{E0061}\u{E007F}\u{10FFFF}"

Screenshot Strange

Some Blanks

>> uniscribe "ยญแ… โ€โฌ๏ปฟ๐…ธ"

Screenshot Blanks

*Notes

Although the gem is generally up to date with Unicode 15.0, the proper detection of compositions / graphemes / combined characters depends on your Ruby version:

You can run uniscribe -v to check for the Unicode level of your uniscribe version.
