# unicode-categories
`unicode-categories` is a simple crate that adds many extensions
to the `char` type that allow for the querying of whether or not
a character is a member of a certain category of unicode characters.
```
use unicode_categories::UnicodeCategories;
assert!('a'.is_letter_lowercase());
assert!('A'.is_letter_uppercase());
assert!('\n'.is_other_control());
```
This crate can be obtained from crates.io and used as a dependency
like any other crate.
## Regenerating the tables
The script in `scripts/unicode.py` reads a file named `UnicodeData.txt`,
which is assumed to be in the current working directory. This file
can be obtained from ftp://ftp.unicode.org . The script outputs a rust
file to standard out, which can be piped to the desired location.
