New submission from David Corbett <corbett....@husky.neu.edu>: In `unicodedata`, the functions `lookup` and `name` have some bugs and inconsistencies.
`lookup` matches case-insensitively, except for the algorithmic names of Hangul syllables and CJK unified ideographs, which must be in all caps. The documentation does not explain how character names are fuzzily matched. `lookup` accepts names like “CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-04E00”, where the code point has a leading zero. `lookup` and `name` don’t implement rule NR2, defined in chapter 4 of Unicode, for Tangut ideographs’ names. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Unicode messages: 339203 nosy: docs@python, dscorbett, ezio.melotti, vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Bugs and inconsistencies in unicodedata type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36486> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
