You can't determine Unicode character properties by analyzing the
names of the characters.
Read chapter 4 of the standard:
http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.0.0/ch04.pdf
and get the property values here:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/DerivedCoreProperties.txt
It sounds like the properties you want are "Case" and "General
Category". Maybe the spec should be more explicit on exactly how the
definitions map onto Unicode properties, so there is no ambiguity.

Hi,
In Haskell reference, I see the
following definitions:
uniWhite -> any Unicode character defined
as whitespace;
uniSmall -> any Unicode lowercase letter;
uniLarge -> any uppercase or titlecase
Unicode letter;
uniSymbol -> any Unicode symbol or
punctuation.
Where do I get lists for those
characters? My first attempt was to
check:
http://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt
and consider large anything marked as
CAPITAL and small anything marked as SMALL. I
didn't know what to guess about the symbols.
Am I using the right reference? How can I
recognize (or get a list of) valid uppercase and
lowercase unicode letters, as well as symbols
and punctuation?
Thanks for your help,
Maurício
