- <h3><a NAME="Character Decomposition"></a>Character Decomposition Mapping</h3>
-
-
-
- <p>The decomposition is a normative property of a character. The tags supplied with
-
- certain decomposition mappings generally indicate formatting information. Where no such
-
- tag is given, the mapping is designated as canonical. Conversely, the presence of a
-
- formatting tag also indicates that the mapping is a compatibility mapping and not a
-
- canonical mapping. In the absence of other formatting information in a compatibility
-
- mapping, the tag is used to distinguish it from canonical mappings.</p>
-
-
-
- <p>In some instances a canonical mapping or a compatibility mapping may consist of a
-
- single character. For a canonical mapping, this indicates that the character is a
-
- canonical equivalent of another single character. For a compatibility mapping, this
-
- indicates that the character is a compatibility equivalent of another single character.
-

-
-
-
- <p>Decomposition is specified in Chapter 3. <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/"><i>Unicode Technical Report #15:
-
- Normalization Forms</i></a> specifies the interaction between decomposition and normalization. The
-
- most up-to-date version is found on <a HREF="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/">http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr15/</a>.
-
- That report specifies how the decompositions defined in UnicodeData.txt are used to derive
-
- normalized forms of Unicode text.</p>
-
-
-
- <p>Note that as of the 2.1.9 update of the Unicode Character Database, the decompositions
-
- in the UnicodeData.txt file can be used to recursively derive the full decomposition in
-
- canonical order, without the need to separately apply canonical reordering. However,
-
- canonical reordering of combining character sequences must still be applied in
-
- decomposition when normalizing source text which contains any combining marks.</p>
-
-
-
- <h3><a NAME="Case Mappings"></a>Case Mappings</h3>
-
-
-
- <p>The case mapping is an informative, default mapping. Case itself, on the other hand,
-
- has normative status. Thus, for example, 0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A is normatively
-
- uppercase, but its lowercase mapping the 0061 LATIN SMALL LETTER A is informative. The
-
- reason for this is that case can be considered to be an inherent property of a particular
-
- character (and is usually, but not always, derivable from the presence of the terms
-
- "CAPITAL" or "SMALL" in the character name), but case mappings between
-
- characters are occasionally influenced by local conventions. For example, certain
-
- languages, such as Turkish, German, French, or Greek may have small deviations from the
-
- default mappings listed in UnicodeData.</p>
-
-
-
- <p>In addition to uppercase and lowercase, because of the inclusion of certain composite
-
- characters for compatibility, such as 01F1 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DZ, there is a third case,
-
- called <i>titlecase</i>, which is used where the first letter of a word is to be
-
- capitalized (e.g. UPPERCASE, Titlecase, lowercase). An example of such a titlecase letter
-
- is 01F2 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH SMALL LETTER Z.</p>
-
-
-
- <p>The uppercase, titlecase and lowercase fields are only included for characters that
-
- have a single corresponding character of that type. Composite characters (such as
-
- "339D SQUARE CM") that do not have a single corresponding character of that type
-
- can be cased by decomposition.</p>
-
-
-
- <p>For compatibility with existing parsers, UnicodeData only contains case mappings for
-
- characters where they are one-to-one mappings; it also omits information about
-
- context-sensitive case mappings. Information about these special cases can be found in a
-
- separate data file, SpecialCasing.txt,
-
- which has been added starting with the 2.1.8 update to the Unicode data files.
-
- SpecialCasing.txt contains additional informative case mappings that are either not
-
- one-to-one or which are context-sensitive.</p>
-
-
-
- <h2><a NAME="Property Invariants"></a>Property Invariants</h2>
-
-
-
- <p>Values in UnicodeData.txt are subject to correction as errors are found; however, some
-
- characteristics of the categories themselves can be considered invariants. Applications
-
- may wish to take these invariants into account when choosing how to implement character
-
- properties. The following is a partial list of known invariants for the Unicode Character
-
- Database.</p>
-
-
-
- <h4>Database Fields</h4>
-
-
-
- <ul>
-
- <li>The number of fields in UnicodeData.txt is fixed. </li>
-
- <li>The order of the fields is also fixed. <ul>
-
- <li>Any additional information about character properties to be added in the future will
-
- appear in separate data tables, rather than being added on to the existing table or by
-
- subdivision or reinterpretation of existing fields. </li>
-
- </ul>
-
- </li>
-
- </ul>
-
-
-
- <h4>General Category</h4>
-
-
-
- <ul>
-
- <li>There will never be more than 32 General Category values. <ul>
-
- <li>It is very unlikely that the Unicode Technical Committee will subdivide the General
-
- Category partition any further, since that can cause implementations to misbehave. Because
-
- the General Category is limited to 32 values, 5 bits can be used to represent the
-
- information, and a 32-bit integer can be used as a bitmask to represent arbitrary sets of
-
- categories. </li>
-
- </ul>
-
- </li>
-
- </ul>
-
-
-
- <h4>Combining Classes</h4>
-
-
-
- <ul>
-
- <li>Combining classes are limited to the values 0 to 255. <ul>
-
- <li>In practice, there are far fewer than 256 values used. Implementations may take
-
- advantage of this fact for compression, since only the ordering of the non-zero values
-
- matters for the Canonical Reordering Algorithm. It is possible for up to 256 values to be
-
- used in the future; however, UTC decisions in the future may restrict the number of values
-
- to 128, since this has implementation advantages. [Signed bytes can be used without
-
- widening to ints in Java, for example.] </li>
-
- </ul>
-
- </li>
-
- <li>All characters other than those of General Category M* have the combining class 0. <ul>
-
- <li>Currently, all characters other than those of General Category Mn have the value 0.
-
- However, some characters of General Category Me or Mc may be given non-zero values in the
-
- future. </li>
-
- <li>The precise values above the value 0 are not invariant--only the relative ordering is
-
- considered normative. For example, it is not guaranteed in future versions that the class
-
- of U+05B4 will be precisely 14. </li>
-
- </ul>
-
- </li>
-
- </ul>
-
-
-
- <h4>Case</h4>
-
-
-
- <ul>
-
- <li>Characters of type Lu, Lt, or Ll are called <i>cased</i>. All characters with an Upper,
-
- Lower, or Titlecase mapping are cased characters. <ul>
-
- <li>However, characters with the General Categories of Lu, Ll, or Lt may not always have
-
- case mappings, and case mappings may vary by locale. (See
-
- ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/SpecialCasing.txt). </li>
-
- </ul>
-
- </li>
-
- </ul>
-
-
-
- <h4>Canonical Decomposition</h4>
-
-
-
- <ul>
-
- <li>Canonical mappings are always in canonical order. </li>
-
- <li>Canonical mappings have only the first of a pair possibly further decomposing. </li>
-
- <li>Canonical decompositions are "transparent" to other character data: <ul>
-
- <li><tt>BIDI(a) = BIDI(principal(canonicalDecomposition(a))</tt> </li>
-
- <li><tt>Category(a) = Category(principal(canonicalDecomposition(a))</tt> </li>
-
- <li><tt>CombiningClass(a) = CombiningClass(principal(canonicalDecomposition(a))</tt><br>
-
- where principal(a) is the first character not of type Mn, or the first character if all
-
- characters are of type Mn. </li>
-
- </ul>
-
- </li>
-
- <li>However, because there are sometimes missing case pairs, and because of some legacy
-
- characters, it is only generally true that: <ul>
-
- <li><tt>upper(canonicalDecomposition(a)) = canonicalDecomposition(upper(a))</tt> </li>
-
- <li><tt>lower(canonicalDecomposition(a)) = canonicalDecomposition(lower(a))</tt> </li>
-
- <li><tt>title(canonicalDecomposition(a)) = canonicalDecomposition(title(a))</tt> </li>
-
- </ul>
-
- </li>
-
- </ul>

-
- <li>Added a decomposition for U+0F0C TIBETAN MARK DELIMITER TSHEG BSTAR. </li>
-
- <li>Added decompositions for several Greek symbol letters: U+03D0..U+03D2, U+03D5,
-
- U+03D6, U+03F0..U+03F2. </li>
-
- <li>Removed decompositions from the conjoining jamo block: U+1100..U+11F8. </li>
-
- <li>Changes to decomposition mappings for some Tibetan vowels for consistency in
-
- normalization. (U+0F71, U+0F73, U+0F77, U+0F79, U+0F81) </li>
-
- <li>Updated the decomposition mappings for several Vietnamese characters with two diacritics
-
- (U+1EAC, U+1EAD, U+1EB6, U+1EB7, U+1EC6, U+1EC7, U+1ED8, U+1ED9), so that the recursive
-
- decomposition can be generated directly in canonically reordered form (not a normative
-
- change). </li>
-
- <li>Updated the decomposition mappings for several Arabic compatibility characters involving
-
- shadda (U+FC5E..U+FC62, U+FCF2..U+FCF4), and two Latin characters (U+1E1C, U+1E1D), so
-
- that the decompositions are generated directly in canonically reordered form (not a
-
- normative change). </li>
-
- <li>Changed BIDI category for: U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE, U+2007 FIGURE SPACE, U+2028 LINE
-
- SEPARATOR. </li>
-
- <li>Changed BIDI category for extenders of General Category Lm: U+3005, U+3021..U+3035,

-
- <h3><a HREF="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/versions/enumeratedversions.html#Unicode 2.1.8">Unicode 2.1.8</a> </h3>
-
-
-
- <p>Modifications made for Version 2.1.8 of UnicodeData.txt include:
-
-
-
- <ul>
-
- <li>Added combining class 240 for U+0345 COMBINING GREEK YPOGEGRAMMENI so that
-
- decompositions involving iota subscript are derivable directly in canonically reordered
-
- form; this also has a bearing on simplification of casing of polytonic Greek. </li>
-
- <li>Changes in decompositions related to Greek tonos. These result from the clarification
-
- that monotonic Greek "tonos" should be equated with U+0301 COMBINING ACUTE,
-
- rather than with U+030D COMBINING VERTICAL LINE ABOVE. (All Greek characters in the Greek
-
- block involving "tonos"; some Greek characters in the polytonic Greek in the
-
- 1FXX block.) </li>
-
- <li>Changed decompositions involving dialytika tonos. (U+0390, U+03B0) </li>
-
- <li>Changed ternary decompositions to binary. (U+0CCB, U+FB2C, U+FB2D) These changes
-
- simplify normalization. </li>
-
- <li>Removed canonical decomposition for Latin Candrabindu. (U+0310) </li>
-
- <li>Corrected error in canonical decomposition for U+1FF4. </li>
-
- <li>Added compatibility decompositions to clarify collation tables. (U+2100, U+2101, U+2105,
-
- U+2106, U+1E9A) </li>
-
- <li>A series of general category changes to assist the convergence of of Unicode definition
-
- of identifier with ISO TR 10176: <ul>
-
- <li>So > Lo: U+0950, U+0AD0, U+0F00, U+0F88..U+0F8B </li>
-
- <li>Po > Lo: U+0E2F, U+0EAF, U+3006 </li>
-
- <li>Lm > Sk: U+309B, U+309C </li>
-
- <li>Po > Pc: U+30FB, U+FF65 </li>
-
- <li>Ps/Pe > Mn: U+0F3E, U+0F3F </li>
-
- </ul>
-
- </li>
-
- <li>A series of bidi property changes for consistency. <ul>
-
- <li>L > ET: U+09F2, U+09F3 </li>
-
- <li>ON > L: U+3007 </li>
-
- <li>L > ON: U+0F3A..U+0F3D, U+037E, U+0387 </li>
-
- </ul>
-
- </li>

-
- <li>Updated symmetric swapping value for guillemets: U+00AB, U+00BB, U+2039, U+203A. </li>
-
- <li>Changes to combining class values. Most Indic fixed position class non-spacing marks
-
- were changed to combining class 0. This fixes some inconsistencies in how canonical
-
- reordering would apply to Indic scripts, including Tibetan. Indic interacting top/bottom
-
- fixed position classes were merged into single (non-zero) classes as part of this change.
-
- Tibetan subjoined consonants are changed from combining class 6 to combining class 0. Thai
-
- pinthu (U+0E3A) moved to combining class 9. Moved two Devanagari stress marks into generic
-
- above and below combining classes (U+0951, U+0952). </li>
-
- <li>Corrected placement of semicolon near symmetric swapping field. (U+FA0E, etc., scattered
-
- positions to U+FA29) </li>
-
- </ul>

-
-
-
- <p>Modifications made for Version 2.1.5 of UnicodeData.txt include:
-
-
-
- <ul>
-
- <li>Changed decomposition for U+FF9E and U+FF9F so that correct collation weighting will
-
- automatically result from the canonical equivalences. </li>
-
- <li>Removed canonical decompositions for U+04D4, U+04D5, U+04D8, U+04D9, U+04E0, U+04E1,
-
- U+04E8, U+04E9 (the implication being that no canonical equivalence is claimed between
-
- these 8 characters and similar Latin letters), and updated 4 canonical decompositions for
-
- U+04DB, U+04DC, U+04EA, U+04EB to reflect the implied difference in the base character. </li>
-
- <li>Added Pi, and Pf categories and assigned the relevant quotation marks to those
-
- categories, based on the Unicode Technical Corrigendum on Quotation Characters. </li>
-
- <li>Updating of many bidi properties, following the advice of the ad hoc committee on bidi,
-
- and to make the bidi properties of compatibility characters more consistent. </li>
-
- <li>Changed category of several Tibetan characters: U+0F3E, U+0F3F, U+0F88..U+0F8B to make
-
- them non-combining, reflecting the combined opinion of Tibetan experts. </li>
-
- <li>Added case mapping for U+03F2. </li>
-
- <li>Corrected case mapping for U+0275. </li>
-
- <li>Added titlecase mappings for U+03D0, U+03D1, U+03D5, U+03D6, U+03F0.. U+03F2. </li>
-
- <li>Corrected compatibility label for U+2121. </li>
-
- <li>Add specific entries for all the CJK compatibility ideographs, U+F900..U+FA2D, so the
-
- canonical decomposition for each (the URO character it is equivalent to) can be carried in
-
- the database. </li>
-
