=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Unicode::UCD module offers a series of functions that
provide a simple interface to the Unicode
Character Database.
=head2 code point argument
Some of the functions are called with a I, which is either
a decimal or a hexadecimal scalar designating a Unicode code point, or C
followed by hexadecimals designating a Unicode code point. In other words, if
you want a code point to be interpreted as a hexadecimal number, you must
prefix it with either C<0x> or C, because a string like e.g. C<123> will be
interpreted as a decimal code point. Also note that Unicode is B limited
to 16 bits (the number of Unicode code points is open-ended, in theory
unlimited): you may have more than 4 hexdigits.

use Unicode::UCD 'charinfo';
my $charinfo = charinfo(0x41);
This returns information about the input L
as a reference to a hash of fields as defined by the Unicode
standard. If the L is not assigned in the standard
(i.e., has the general category C meaning C)
or is a non-character (meaning it is guaranteed to never be assigned in
the standard),
B is returned.
Fields that aren't applicable to the particular code point argument exist in the
returned hash, and are empty.
The keys in the hash with the meanings of their values are:
=over
=item B
the input L
expressed in hexadecimal, with leading zeros
added if necessary to make it contain at least four hexdigits
=item B
name of I, all IN UPPER CASE.
Some control-type code points do not have names.
This field will be empty for C and C code points,
and for the others without a name,
it will contain a description enclosed in angle brackets, like
CcontrolE>.
=item B
The short name of the general category of I.
This will match one of the keys in the hash returned by L.
=item B
the combining class number for I used in the Canonical Ordering Algorithm.
For Unicode 5.1, this is described in Section 3.11 C
available at
L
=item B
bidirectional type of I.
This will match one of the keys in the hash returned by L.
=item B
is empty if I has no decomposition; or is one or more codes
(separated by spaces) that taken in order represent a decomposition for
I. Each has at least four hexdigits.
The codes may be preceded by a word enclosed in angle brackets then a space,
like CcompatE >, giving the type of decomposition
=item B
if I is a decimal digit this is its integer numeric value
=item B
if I represents a whole number, this is its integer numeric value
=item B
if I represents a whole or rational number, this is its numeric value.
Rational values are expressed as a string like C<1/4>.
=item B
C or C designating if I is mirrored in bidirectional text
=item B
name of I in the Unicode 1.0 standard if one
existed for this code point and is different from the current name
=item B
ISO 10646 comment field.
It appears in parentheses in the ISO 10646 names list,
or contains an asterisk to indicate there is
a note for this code point in Annex P of that standard.
=item B
is empty if there is no single code point uppercase mapping for I;
otherwise it is that mapping expressed as at least four hexdigits.
(L should be used in addition to B
for case mappings when the calling program can cope with multiple code point
mappings.)
=item B
is empty if there is no single code point lowercase mapping for I;
otherwise it is that mapping expressed as at least four hexdigits.
(L should be used in addition to B
for case mappings when the calling program can cope with multiple code point
mappings.)
=item B
is empty if there is no single code point titlecase mapping for I;
otherwise it is that mapping expressed as at least four hexdigits.
(L should be used in addition to B
for case mappings when the calling program can cope with multiple code point
mappings.)
=item B
block I belongs to (used in \p{In...}).
See L.
