Eric, UnicodeSet is a class available in ICU4J and ICU4C/C++ and so you can parse and query using the ICU API. I wrote a little command line utility badly named "ucd" that is similar to the web page mentioned above. It is here: http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuapps/trunk/ucd/ and here is the readme: http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuapps/trunk/ucd/readme.txt let me know what platform you are on and I can send you build instructions. -s -- IBMer but all opinions are mine. https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/srl295 // fingerprint @ https://ssl.icu-project.org/trac/wiki/Srl _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list [email protected] http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
