|
||
|

### White~Scpace~

||
Used for marking invisible spacing characters, such as spaces, tabs and
|
||
newlines.
|
||
|
||
- :͡ White~Space~ = True
|
||
- π: White~Space~ = False
|
||
|
||
### Age
|
||
|
||
Version of the Unicode Standard in which a character was introduced. For
|
||
example: The Euro sign € was added in version 2.1 of the Unicode
|
||
standard.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|

|
||
are unique.
|
||
|
||
- S: Block = Basic~Latin~ (range U+0000..U+007F)
|
||
- 🙂: Block = Emoticons (range U+1F600..U+1F64F)
|
||
|
||
### Script
|
||
|
||
A collection of characters used by one or more writing systems.
|
||
|
||
- Some scripts support several writing systems. For example, the Latin
|
||
script supports the writing systems English, French, German, Latin,
|
||
etc.
|
||
- Some languages can be written in multiple alternate writing systems
|
||
that are supported by multiple scripts. For example, Turkish used
|
||
the Arabic script before it transitioned to the Latin script in the
|
||
early 20th century.
|
||
|
||
1. Examples
|
||
|
||
- α: Script = Greek
|
||
- Д: Script = Cyrillic
