It ships its 44own compact UCD-derived table (about 360 KB) and is independent of 45library(unicode) and library(unicode_security). 46 47Algorithmic name ranges (Hangul syllables, CJK and Tangut ideographs and 48the various ``PREFIX-<hex>`` families) are synthesised from the code 49point and carry no per-code-point storage; the remaining ~34,600 names 50are stored as a shared word table plus a packed token stream. See 51``etc/gen_uniname.pl`` in the package directory to regenerate the table 52on a Unicode-version bump. 53*/ 54 55%! unicode_name(?CodePoint:integer, ?Name:atom) is nondet. 56% 57% True when Name is the Unicode character name of CodePoint. Usage: 58% 59% - `unicode_name(+CodePoint, -Name)` is semidet: the name of 60% CodePoint, failing when it has none (control, surrogate, 61% private-use or unassigned code points). 62% - `unicode_name(-CodePoint, +Name)` is semidet: the (unique) 63% code point with the given name. 64% - `unicode_name(-CodePoint, -Name)` is nondet: enumerate every 65% named code point on backtracking. 66% 67% Name is an atom of the formal Unicode name in upper case, e.g. 68% 69% ``` 70% ?- unicode_name(0'A, N). 71% N = 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A'. 72% 73% ?- unicode_name(C, 'EURO SIGN'). 74% C = 8364. 75% 76% ?- unicode_name(0xAC00, N). 77% N = 'HANGUL SYLLABLE GA'. 78% ```
