This module provides access to the Unicode Character Database which
defines character properties for all Unicode characters. The data in
this database is based on the \file{UnicodeData.txt} file version
3.0.0 which is publically available from \url{ftp://ftp.unicode.org/}.
The module uses the same names and symbols as defined by the
UnicodeData File Format 3.0.0 (see
\url{ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.html}). It
defines the following functions:
\begin{funcdesc}{decimal}{unichr\optional{, default}}
 Returns the decimal value assigned to the Unicode character
 \var{unichr} as integer. If no such value is defined,
 \var{default} is returned, or, if not given,
 \exception{ValueError} is raised.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{digit}{unichr\optional{, default}}
 Returns the digit value assigned to the Unicode character
 \var{unichr} as integer. If no such value is defined,
 \var{default} is returned, or, if not given,
 \exception{ValueError} is raised.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{numeric}{unichr\optional{, default}}
 Returns the numeric value assigned to the Unicode character
 \var{unichr} as float. If no such value is defined, \var{default} is
 returned, or, if not given, \exception{ValueError} is raised.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{category}{unichr}
 Returns the general category assigned to the Unicode character
 \var{unichr} as string.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{bidirectional}{unichr}
 Returns the bidirectional category assigned to the Unicode character
 \var{unichr} as string. If no such value is defined, an empty string
 is returned.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{combining}{unichr}
 Returns the canonical combining class assigned to the Unicode
 character \var{unichr} as integer. Returns \code{0} if no combining
 class is defined.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{mirrored}{unichr}
 Returns the mirrored property of assigned to the Unicode character
 \var{unichr} as integer. Returns \code{1} if the character has been
 identified as a ``mirrored'' character in bidirectional text,
 \code{0} otherwise.
\end{funcdesc}
\begin{funcdesc}{decomposition}{unichr}
 Returns the character decomposition mapping assigned to the Unicode
 character \var{unichr} as string. An empty string is returned in case
 no such mapping is defined.
\end{funcdesc}
