— Function: uc_general_category_t uc_general_category_or (uc_general_category_t category1, uc_general_category_t category2)

Returns the union of two general categories. This corresponds to the unions of the two sets of characters.

— Function: uc_general_category_t uc_general_category_and (uc_general_category_t category1, uc_general_category_t category2)

Returns the intersection of two general categories as bit masks. This does not correspond to the intersection of the two sets of characters.

— Function: uc_general_category_t uc_general_category_and_not (uc_general_category_t category1, uc_general_category_t category2)

Returns the intersection of a general category with the complement of a second general category, as bit masks. This does not correspond to the intersection with complement, when viewing the categories as sets of characters.

— Function: const char * uc_general_category_name (uc_general_category_t category)

Returns the name of a general category. Returns NULL if the general category corresponds to a bit mask that does not have a name.

— Function: uc_general_category_t uc_general_category_byname (const char *category_name)

Returns the general category given by name, e.g. "Lu".

— Function: uc_general_category_t uc_general_category (ucs4_t uc)

Returns the general category of a Unicode character.

This function uses a big table.

— Function: bool uc_is_general_category (ucs4_t uc, uc_general_category_t category)

Tests whether a Unicode character belongs to a given category. The category argument can be a predefined general category or the combination of several predefined general categories.
