🫶 fribidi_get_bidi_type(3) — Programmer's Manual 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

fribidi_get_bidi_type — get character bidi type. That's literally the whole vibe: you hand it a character, it gives you the bidi type. Slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <../fribidi/lib/fribidi.h>

FriBidiCharType fribidi_get_bidi_type(FriBidiChar ch);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • FriBidiChar ch — the input character, bestie. The one you're asking about. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this function returns the bidi type of a character, and it's defined in Table 3.7 Bidirectional Character Types of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm, available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#Bidirectional_Character_Types, using data provided in file UnicodeData.txt of the Unicode Character Database, available at http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt. Literally the Unicode receipts. 🔥

And yes — there are a few macros defined in fribidi-bidi-types.h for querying a bidi type. Cute little helpers, iykyk. 💅

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

Since there are 23 possible values for a FriBidiCharType, they are not all listed here. That's the note, bestie — 23 is the number, and the full list is not in this page. 👑
