"Age" is the version of the Standard in which the code point was first designated. The version number is shortened to the numbering major.minor, although there more detailed version numbers are used: versions 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 both are named 4.0 as Age. Given the releases, Age can be from the range: 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2.<ref>[http://www.unicode.org/versions/components-pre4.html Pre version 4]</ref><ref>[http://www.unicode.org/versions/enumeratedversions.html Versions 4.0 and later]</ref>

Unicode assigns character properties to each codepoint (unicode-number like U+A234).[1] These properties can be used to handle characters in processes, like in line-breaking or script direction right-to-left. Slightly inconsequently, some character properties are also defined for codepoints that have no character assigned, and codepoints that are defined "not a character", etc.

Properties have levels of forcefulness: normative, informative, contributory, or provisional. Technically a property may be assigned by specifying a range of codepoints.

Character property

Name

Most Unicode characters are assigned a unique Name (na).[1] The name, in English, is composed of A-Z capitals, 0-9 digits, - (hyphen-minus) and <space>. Some sequences are excluded: beginning space, hyphen; ending space, hyphen; repeated spaces, hyphens; space after hyphen are not allowed. The name is guaranteed to be unique within Unicode, and can be used to identify a code point and its character. Ideographic characters, of which there are ten of thousands, are named in the pattern "<CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-hhhh>", like for U+4E00: "CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-4E00". Formatting characters are named too: "NO-BREAK SPACE" (U+00A0).

Starting from Unicode version 2.0, the published name for a code point will never change. In the event of a misspelling in a publication, a correct name will later be assigned to the code point as an Character Name Alias (na1). Within the whole range of names, an alias is unique too.

Apart from these normative names, informal names can be assigned. These are usually other commonly used names for a character, used for illustration, but these are not informal names are not guaranteed to be unique.

The next code points are do not have a Name (na=""): Controls (General Category: Cc), Private use(Cp), Surrogate (Cs), Non-characters (Co) and Reserved (Co). They may be referenced, informally, by a generic or specific meta-name, called Code Point Labels: <control>, <control-0088>, <reserved>, <noncharacter-hhhh>, <private-hhhh>, <surrogate>.

Pre version 2.0

In version 2.0 of Unicode, many names were changed. From then on the rule "a name will never change" came into effect, including the strict (normative) use of alias names. Disused version 1.0-names were moved to the property Alias, to provide some backward compatibility.

General Category

Each codepoint is assigned a value for General Category. This is one of the character properties that are also defined unassigned codepoints, and codepoints that are defined "not a character".

E.g. <control-hhhh>, <control-0088>. The Name remains blank, which can prevent inadvertently replacing, in documentation, a Control Name with a true Control code. Unicode also uses <not a character> for <noncharacter>.

Other important general characteristics

(whitespace, dash, ideographic, alphabetic, noncharacter, deprecated, and so on)

(bidirectional class, shaping, mirroring, width, and so on)

Casing

The Case value is Normative in Unicode. It pertains to those scripts with uppercase (aka capital, majuscule) and the lowercase (aka small, minuscule) letter. Case-difference occurs in the scripts Latin, Greek, Coptic, Cyrillic, Glagolitic, Armenian, Deseret, and archaic Georgian.

(upper, lower, title, folding—both simple and full)

Numeric values and types

Characters are classified with a Numeric type.[1] Numeric are all characters such as fractions, subscripts, superscripts, Roman numerals, currency numerators, encircled numbers, and script-specific digits. All these have a numeric value that can be decimal, including zero and negatives, but also a vulgar fraction. If there is not such a value, as with most of the scripts, the numeric type is "None".

The numeric characters are separated in three groups: Decimal (De), Decimal ideographic (Di) and Numeric (Nu, i.e. all other). "Decimal" if the character is a straight decimal digit. Here are excluded fractions, encircled numbers, superscripts etc., which end up with the type "Numeric". The intended effect is that a even more simple parser can use these decimal numeric values, without being distracted by say a numeric superscript or a fraction. Some 41 CJK Ideographs that represent a number, including those used for accounting, are typed "Decimal, ideographic".

On the other hand, characters that could have a numeric value as a second meaning are still marked Numeric type "None", and have no numeric value (""). E.g. Latin letters can be used in paragraph numbering like (II.A.1.b), but the letters "I", "A" and "b" are not numeric (type "None") and have no numeric value.

Block

Main article: Unicode block

A block is a continuous range of code points, marked by its first and last code point. It may contain non-assigned code points. Each assigned character has a single "block" value from a the list of 197 names. Unassigned code points that have no block name yet, have the default value "No_block". Although this is the value of the property "block", it is not an existing block name.

Script

Main article: Unicode scripts

Each assigned character has a single value for its "Script" (sc) property, signifing to which script it belongs. The value is a four-letter code in the range Aaaa-Zzzz, according to ISO 15924, which is mapped to a writing system. The special code Zyyy for "Common" allows a single value for a character that is used in multiple scripts. Unicode uses the private available code Qaai for "Inherited" script. The code Zzzz "Unknown" is used for all characters that do not belong to a script (i.e. de default value), such as symbols and formatting characters. Overall, a single script can be scattered over multiple blocks.

    In Unicode, the Phoenician script is intended for the representation of text in Paleo-Hebrew, Archaic Phoenician, Phoenician, Early Aramaic, Late Phoenician cursive, Phoenician papyri, Siloam Hebrew, Hebrew seals, Ammonite, Moabite, and Punic.[vi]

Given the releases, Age can be from the range: 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2.[2][3]
