UNICODE_SCRIPT(3)

✨ UNICODE_SCRIPT(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to UNICODE_SCRIPT(3) from the Courier Unicode Library — yes this is the whole page, and yes it's short, but it's iconic and we're gonna give it the main character treatment it deserves 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

unicode_script — the unicode script property, fr fr 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <courier-unicode.h>

unicode_script_t unicode_script(char32_t ch);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so, unicode_script() does one thing and it does it slay: it goes and looks up the “script” property of the unicode character you hand it, and then it just... gives it back to you. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🫶

the unicode_script_t enumeration is the thing that encodes all the possible unicode script values — like, that's the type you're getting back, no cap.

and if you pass in a character whose script property is genuinely unknown? you get unicode_script_unknown back. it's giving shrug emoji, but in enum form 🙈
