1 Introduction

In working on Unicode implementations, it is often useful to access the full content of the Unicode Character Database (UCD). For example, in establishing mappings from characters to glyphs in fonts, it is convenient to see the character scalar value, the character name, the character East Asian width, along with the shape and metrics of the proposed glyph to map to; looking at all this data simultaneously helps in evaluating the mapping.

Directly accessing the data files that constitute the UCD is sometimes a daunting proposition. The data is dispersed in a number of files of various formats, and there are just enough peculiarities (all justified by the processing power available at the time the UCD representation was designed) to require a fairly intimate knowledge of the data format itself, in addition to the meaning of the data.

Many programming environments (for example, Java or ICU) do give access to the UCD. However, those environments tend to lag behind releases of the standard, or support only some of the UCD content.

Unibook is a wonderful tool to explore the UCD and in many cases is just the ticket; however, it is difficult to use when the task at hand has not been built-in, or when non-UCD data is to be displayed as well.

This annex presents an alternative representation of the UCD, which is meant to overcome these difficulties. We have chosen an XML representation, because parsing becomes a non-issue: there are a number of XML parsers freely available, and using them is often fairly easy. In addition, there are freely available tools that can perform powerful operations on XML data; for example, XPATH and XQUERY engines can be thought of as a “grep” for XML data and XSLT engines can be thought of as “awk” for XML data.

It is important to note that we are interested in exploring the content of the UCD, rather than in using the UCD data to process character streams. Thus, we are not concerned so much by the speed of processing or the size of our representation.

Our representation supports the creation of documents that represent only parts of the UCD, either by not representing all the characters, or by not representing all the properties. This can be useful when only some of the data is needed.

This annex presents only the XML representation format of the UCD. The data itself is part of the Unicode Character Database.

2 Overall schema

2.1 General principles

Our schema can be used to create and validate documents which are intended to represent properties of Unicode code points, blocks, named sequences, normalization corrections, standardized variants, CJK radicals and emoji sources. A document may represent the values actually assigned in a given version of the UCD, or it may represent a draft version of the UCD, or a private agreement on Private Use characters. The validity of a XML document with respect to the schema defined in this annex does not assert anything about the correctness of the values.

Valid documents may provide values for only some of the code points, or some of the Unicode properties. Furthermore, they may also incorporate non-Unicode properties.

Our schema is defined using English. However, a useful subset of the validity constraints can be captured using a schema language, thereby simplifying the task of validating documents. We have chosen Relax NG [ISO 19757], in the compact syntax , as the schema language. It is important to stress that the schema which is defined in English imposes more constraints on the documents than can be validated with the Relax NG schema.

An important characteristic of Relax NG is that its schemas do not modify or augment the infoset of the documents. Therefore, it is possible to process our XML representation without using the schema. Also, the schema is relatively straightforward and can be converted mechanically to other schema languages.

While our XML representation is not intended to be used during processing of characters and strings, it is still a design principle for our schema to support the relatively efficient representation of the UCD. This is achieved by an inheritance mechanism, similar to property inheritance in CSS or in XSL:FO (see section 4.3 Group).

Many invariants impose constraints on the values of the different properties for a given code point. For example, if the value of the Numeric Type property is None, then the value of the Numeric Value property should be the empty string; and if the value of the Other Alphabetic property is true, then the value of the Alphabetic property should be true. Those invariants are not captured in the schema.

2.2 Namespace

The namespace for our elements is “http://www.unicode.org/ns/2003/ucd/1.0”. Our attributes are in the empty namespace.

[namespace declaration, 1] = default namespace ucd = "http://www.unicode.org/ns/2003/ucd/1.0"

In all our examples, we assume that this namespace is the default one.

2.3 Datatypes

We use a standard XML Schema datatypes:

[datatypes declaration, 2] = # default; datatypes xsd = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes"

Characters are pervasive in the UCD, and will need to be represented. Representing characters directly by themselves would seem the most obvious choice; for example, we could express that the decomposition of U+00E8 is “è”, that is have exactly two characters in (the infoset of) the XML document. However, the current XML specification limits the set of characters that can be part of a document. Another problem is that the various tools (XML parser, XPATH engine, etc.) may equate U+00E8 with U+0065 U+0300, thus making it difficult to figure out which of the two sequences is contained in the database (which is sometimes important for our purposes). Therefore, we chose instead to represent characters by their code points; we follow the usual convention of four to six hexadecimal digits (uppercase) and code points in a sequence separated by space; for example, the decomposition of U+00E8 will be represented by the nine characters “0065 0300” in the infoset.

[datatype for code points, 3] = single-code-point = xsd:string { pattern = "(|[1-9A-F]|(10))[0-9A-F]{4}" } one-or-more-code-points = list { single-code-point + } zero-or-more-code-points = list { single-code-point * } two-code-points = list { single-code-point, single-code-point }

2.4 Root Element

The root element of valid documents is a ucd.

[schema start, 4] = start = element ucd { ucd.content }

2.5 Common attributes

A large number of properties are boolean. We uniformly use the values Y and N for those:

[boolean type, 5] = boolean = "Y" | "N"

2.6 Ordering of elements

In elements that hold lists of child elements, such as repertoire, group, or standardized-variants, the schema does not require that the child elements be in any particular order.

3 Description

The root element may have a description child element, which in turn contains any string, which is meant to describe what the XML document purports to describe.

It is recommended that if the document purports to represent the UCD of some Unicode version, the description be selected in accord with the rules listed in [Versions]; and conversely, that documents which do not purport to represent the UCD be described as such.

[description, 6] = ucd.content &= element description { text }?

4 Repertoire

The repertoire child element of the ucd element describes the code points and their properties. As we will see shortly, code points can be described individually or as part of a group:

[repertoire, 7] = ucd.content &= element repertoire { (code-point | group) + }?

4.1 Sets of code points

It is often the case that successive code points have the same property values, for a given set of properties. The most striking example is that of an unallocated plane, where all but the last two code points are reserved and have the same property values. Another example is the URO (U+4E00 .. U+9FA5) where all the code points have the same property values if we ignore their name and their Unihan properties.

This observation suggests that it is profitable to represent sets of code points which share the same properties, rather than individual code points. To make the representation of the sets simple, we restrict them to be segments in the code point space, that is a set is defined by the first and last code point it contains. Those are captured by the attributes first-cp and last-cp. The attribute cp is a shorthand notation for the case where the set has a single code point.

[Set of code points, 8] = set-of-code-points = attribute cp { single-code-point } | ( attribute first-cp { single-code-point }, attribute last-cp { single-code-point } )

In the repertoire, there must be at most one code-point element for a given code point.

4.2 Code point types

When thinking about Unicode code points, it is useful to split them into four types:

• those assigned to abstract characters (PUA or not)

• the noncharacters

• the surrogate code points

• the reserved code points

This leads to four elements to describe sets of code points:

[Code points, 9] = code-point |= element reserved { set-of-code-points, code-point-attributes } code-point |= element noncharacter { set-of-code-points, code-point-attributes } code-point |= element surrogate { set-of-code-points, code-point-attributes } code-point |= element char { set-of-code-points, code-point-attributes }

4.3 Group

While we already recognized the situation where a set of code points have exactly the same set of property values, another common situation is that of code points which have almost all the same property values.

For example, the characters U+1740 BUHID LETTER A .. U+1753 BUHID VOWEL SIGN U all have the age “3.2”, and all have the script “Buhd”. On the one hand, it is convenient to support data files in which those properties are explicitly listed with every code point, at this makes answering questions like “what is the age of U+1749?” easier, because that data is expressed right there. On the other hand, this leads to rather large data files, and it also tends to obscure the differences between similar characters.

Our representation accounts for this situation with the notion of groups. A group element is simply a container of code points that also holds default values for the properties. If a code point inside a group does not list explicitly a property but the group lists it, then the code point inherits that property from its group. For example, the fragment with explicit properties:

  <char cp="1740" age="3.2" na="BUHID LETTER A" gc="Lo" sc="Buhd"/>
  <char cp="1741" age="3.2" na="BUHID LETTER I" gc="Lo" sc="Buhd"/>
  <char cp="1752" age="3.2" na="BUHID VOWEL SIGN I" gc="Mn" sc="Buhd"/>
  <char cp="1820" age="3.0" na="MONGOLIAN LETTER A" gc="Lo" sc="Mong"/>

is equivalent to this fragment which uses a group:

  <group age="3.2" gc="Lo" sc="Buhd">
    <char cp="1740" na="BUHID LETTER A"/>
    <char cp="1741" na="BUHID LETTER I"/>
    <char cp="1752" na="BUHID VOWEL SIGN I" gc="Mn"/>
    <char cp="1820" age="3.0" na="MONGOLIAN LETTER A" sc="Mong"/>
  </group>

The element for U+1740 does not have the age attribute, and it therefore inherits it from its enclosing group element, that is “3.2”. On the other hand, the element for U+1820 does have this attribute, so the value is “3.0”.

As this example illustrates, the notion of group does not necessarily align with the notion of Unicode block. It is entirely defined and limited to our representation. In particular, the value of a property for a code point can always be determined from the XML document alone, assuming that this property and this code point are expressed at all. Of course, one may create an XML representation where the groups happen to coincide with the Unicode blocks.

Groups cannot be nested. The motivation for this limitation is to make the life of consumers easier: either a property is defined by the element for a code point, or it is defined by the immediately enclosing group element.

[groups, 10] = group = element group { code-point-attributes, code-point* }

4.4 Properties

Each property, except for the Special_Case_Condition and Name_Alias properties, is represented by an attribute. In an XML data file, the absence of an attribute (may be only on some code-points) means that the document does not express the value of the corresponding property. Conversely, the presence of an attribute is an expression of the corresponding property value; the implied null value is represented by the empty string.

The Name_Alias property is represented by zero or more name-alias child elements. Unlike the situation for properties represented by attributes, it is not possible to determine whether all of the aliases have been represented in a data file by inspecting that data file.

The name of an attribute is the abbreviated name of the property as given in the file PropertyAliases.txt in version 6.1.0 of the UCD. For the Unihan properties, the name is that given in the various versions of the Unihan database (some properties are no longer present in version 6.1.0).

For catalog and enumerated properties, the values are those listed in the file PropertyValueAliases.txt in version 6.1.0 of the UCD; if there is an abbreviated name, it is used, otherwise the long name is used.

Note that the set of possible values for a property captured in this schema may change from one version to the next.

4.4.1 Age property

The age attribute captures the version of Unicode in which a code point was assigned to an abstract character, or made a surrogate or non-character.

[age, 11] = code-point-attributes &= attribute age { "1.1" | "2.0" | "2.1" | "3.0" | "3.1" | "3.2" | "4.0" | "4.1" | "5.0" | "5.1" | "5.2" | "6.0" | "6.1" | "6.2" | "6.3" | "7.0" | "8.0" | "9.0" | "10.0" | "11.0" | "12.0" | "12.1" | "13.0" | "14.0" | "15.0" | "15.1" | "16.0" | "unassigned" }?

4.4.2 Name properties

There are two name properties: the name given by the current version of the standard (na), and possibly the name this character had in version 1.0 of the standard (na1).

[name pattern, 12] = character-name = xsd:string { pattern="([A-Z0-9 #\-\(\)]*)|(<control>)" }

[name properties, 13] = code-point-attributes &= attribute na { character-name }? code-point-attributes &= attribute na1 { character-name }?

The majority of the characters in Unicode have a name which is of the form CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-<code point>. It also happens that character names cannot contain the character U+0023 # NUMBER SIGN, so we adopted the following convention: if a code point has the attribute na (either directly or by inheritance from an enclosing group), then occurrences of the character # in the name are to be interpreted as the value of the code point. For example:

  <char cp="3400" na="CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-3400"/>

and

  <char cp="3400" na="CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-#"/>

are equivalent. The # can be in any position in the value of the na attribute. The convention also applies just as well to a set of multiple code points:

  <char cp="3400" na="CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-3400"/>
  <char cp="3401" na="CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-3401"/>

is equivalent to

  <char cp="3400" na="CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-#"/>
  <char cp="3401" na="CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-#"/>

which in turn is equivalent to:

  <char first-cp="3400" last-cp="3401" na="CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-#"/>

4.4.3 Name Aliases

The Name_Alias property is represented by zero or more name-alias child elements:

[name_alias property, 14] = code-point-attributes &= element name-alias { attribute alias { text }?, attribute type { "abbreviation" | "alternate" | "control" | "correction" | "figment" }? } *

4.4.4 Block

The Block property is represented by the blk attribute:

[block property, 15] = code-point-attributes &= attribute blk { "Adlam" | "Aegean_Numbers" | "Ahom" | "Alchemical" | "Alphabetic_PF" | "Anatolian_Hieroglyphs" | "Ancient_Greek_Music" | "Ancient_Greek_Numbers" | "Ancient_Symbols" | "Arabic" | "Arabic_Ext_A" | "Arabic_Ext_B" | "Arabic_Ext_C" | "Arabic_Math" | "Arabic_PF_A" | "Arabic_PF_B" | "Arabic_Sup" | "Armenian" | "Arrows" |

4.4.5 General Category

The general category is represented by the gc attribute.

[gc property, 16] = code-point-attributes &= attribute gc { "Lu" | "Ll" | "Lt" | "Lm" | "Lo" | "Mn" | "Mc" | "Me" | "Nd" | "Nl" | "No" | "Pc" | "Pd" | "Ps" | "Pe" | "Pi" | "Pf" | "Po" | "Sm" | "Sc" | "Sk" | "So" | "Zs" | "Zl" | "Zp" | "Cc" | "Cf" | "Cs" | "Co" | "Cn" }?

4.4.6 Combining properties

The combining class is represented by the ccc attribute, which holds the decimal representation of the combining class.

Because the set of values that this property has taken across the various versions of the UCD is rather large, our schema does not restrict the possible values to those actually used.

[ccc property, 17] = code-point-attributes &= attribute ccc { xsd:integer { minInclusive="0" maxInclusive="254" }}?

4.4.7 Bidirectionality properties

The bidirectional class is represented by the bc attribute.

[bc property, 18] = code-point-attributes &= attribute bc { "AL" | "AN" | "B " | "BN" | "CS" | "EN" | "ES" | "ET" | "FSI" | "L" | "LRE" | "LRI" | "LRO" | "NSM" | "ON" | "PDF" | "PDI" | "R" | "RLE" | "RLI" | "RLO" | "S" | "WS" }?

The mirrored property is represented by the Bidi_M attribute, which takes a boolean value.

[bidi_M property, 19] = code-point-attributes &= attribute Bidi_M { boolean }?

The bmg attribute is the code point of a character whose glyph is typically a mirrored image of the glyph for the current character.

[bmg property, 20] = code-point-attributes &= attribute bmg { "" | single-code-point }?

Note that we do not express the “Best Fit” element recorded in BidiMirroring.txt. For one thing, it is not meant to be machine readable. More importantly, the idea underlying the mirrored glyph is delicate to use, since it makes assumptions about the design of the fonts, and the best fit goes even farther.

The Bidi_Control property is represented by the bidi_c attribute.

[Bidi_C property, 21] = code-point-attributes &= attribute Bidi_C { boolean }?

The bidi paired bracket type and bidi paired bracket properties are represented by the bpt and bpb attributes respectively.

[bpt and bpb attributes, 22] = code-point-attributes &= attribute bpt { "o" | "c" | "n" }? code-point-attributes &= attribute bpb { "#" | single-code-point }?

4.4.8 Decomposition properties

The decomposition type and decomposition mapping properties are represented by the dt and dm attributes.

Most characters have a decomposition mapping to themselves. This is very similar to the situation we encountered with names, and we adopted a similar convention: if the value of a decomposition mapping is the character itself, we use the attribute value # (U+0023 # NUMBER SIGN) as a shorthand notation; this enables those attributes to be captured in groups.

[decomposition properties, 23] = code-point-attributes &= attribute dt { "can" | "com" | "enc" | "fin" | "font" | "fra" | "init" | "iso" | "med" | "nar" | "nb" | "sml" | "sqr" | "sub" | "sup" | "vert" | "wide" | "none"}? code-point-attributes &= attribute dm { "#" | zero-or-more-code-points }?

4.4.10 Joining properties

The joining class of a character is represented by the jt attribute.

The jg attribute is the joining group of the character.

[joining properties, 27] = code-point-attributes &= attribute jt { "U" | "C" | "T" | "D" | "L" | "R" }? code-point-attributes &= attribute jg { "African_Feh" | "African_Noon" | "African_Qaf" | "Ain" | "Alaph" | "Alef" | "Alef_Maqsurah" | "Beh" | "Beth" | "Burushaski_Yeh_Barree" | "Dal" | "Dalath_Rish" | "E" | "Farsi_Yeh" | "Fe" | "Feh" | "Final_Semkath" | "Gaf" | "Gamal" | "Hah" | "Hamza_On_Heh_Goal" | "He" | "Heh" | "Heh_Goal" | "Heth" | "Hanifi_Rohingya_Kinna_Ya" | "Hanifi_Rohingya_Pa" | "Kaf" | "Kaph" | "Kashmiri_Yeh" | "Khaph" | "Knotted_Heh" | "Lam" | "Lamadh" | "Malayalam_Nga" | "Malayalam_Ja" | "Malayalam_Nya" | "Malayalam_Tta" | "Malayalam_Nna" | "Malayalam_Nnna" | "Malayalam_Bha" | "Malayalam_Ra" | "Malayalam_Lla" | "Malayalam_Llla" | "Malayalam_Ssa" | "Manichaean_Aleph" | "Manichaean_Ayin" | "Manichaean_Beth" | "Manichaean_Daleth" | "Manichaean_Dhamedh" | "Manichaean_Five" | "Manichaean_Gimel" | "Manichaean_Heth" | "Manichaean_Hundred" | "Manichaean_Kaph" | "Manichaean_Lamedh" | "Manichaean_Mem" | "Manichaean_Nun" | "Manichaean_One" | "Manichaean_Pe" | "Manichaean_Qoph" | "Manichaean_Resh" | "Manichaean_Sadhe" | "Manichaean_Samekh" | "Manichaean_Taw" | "Manichaean_Ten" | "Manichaean_Teth" | "Manichaean_Thamedh" | "Manichaean_Twenty" | "Manichaean_Waw" | "Manichaean_Yodh" | "Manichaean_Zayin" | "Meem" | "Mim" | "No_Joining_Group" | "Noon" | "Nun" | "Nya" | "Pe" | "Qaf" | "Qaph" | "Reh" | "Reversed_Pe" | "Rohingya_Yeh" | "Sad" | "Sadhe" | "Seen" | "Semkath" | "Shin" | "Straight_Waw" | "Swash_Kaf" | "Syriac_Waw" | "Tah" | "Taw" | "Teh_Marbuta" | "Teh_Marbuta_Goal" | "Teth" | "Thin_Yeh" | "Vertical_Tail" | "Waw" | "Yeh" | "Yeh_Barree" | "Yeh_With_Tail" | "Yudh" | "Yudh_He" | "Zain" | "Zhain" }?

[casing properties, 31] = code-point-attributes &= attribute Upper { boolean }? code-point-attributes &= attribute Lower { boolean }? code-point-attributes &= attribute OUpper { boolean }? code-point-attributes &= attribute OLower { boolean }?

Most characters have a case mapping and case folding properties that simply map or fold to themselves. This is very similar to the situation we encountered with names, and we adopted a similar convention: if the value of a case mapping or case folding property is the character itself, we use the attribute value # (U+0023 # NUMBER SIGN) as a shorthand notation; this enables those attributes to be captured in groups.

The simple case mappings are recorded in the suc, slc, stc attributes.

[casing properties, 32] = code-point-attributes &= attribute suc { "#" | single-code-point }? code-point-attributes &= attribute slc { "#" | single-code-point }? code-point-attributes &= attribute stc { "#" | single-code-point }?
