In one of my projects, I wrote a little helper program to parse this file and generate a function that tells me if a given dchar is wide or narrow. Thank you. Analyzing the data file seems simple enough. :)
Accessing non-binary Unicode properties with std.uni
The documentation of std.uni [1] says that the unicode struct provides sets for several binary properties. I am looking for a way to query non-binary properties of a character. Is that possible with std.uni or do I need to use a third-party library? I am specifically interested in the East_Asian_Width property [2] (which has six allowed values). Trying to access std.uni.unicode.East_Asian_Width results in the error message: No unicode set by name East_Asian_Width was found.
