About RTL
[edit]I am researching RTL scripts. I met this:
- A
- 0xa9 -- LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
- Latn
- is_rtl: false
- ث
- 0x062B -- ARABIC LETTER THEH [1]
- Arab
- is_rtl: false
- ש
- 0x05E9 -- HEBREW LETTER SHIN [2]
- Hebr
- is_rtl: false
- ߖ
- 0x07D6 -- NKO LETTER JA [3]
- Nkoo
- is_rtl: false
I'd expect the Arab, Hebr, Nkoo characters to be rtl=true. Am I misunderstanding something? @Erutuon: -DePiep (talk) 20:58, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- @DePiep: The invocation
{{#invoke:Unicode data|is|rtl|05E9}}
checks whether the literal characters05E9
are right-to-left. To check the right-to-leftness of the Hebrew character, put in the literal character or a HTML character reference:{{#invoke:Unicode data|is|rtl|ש}}
or{{#invoke:Unicode data|is|rtl|ש}}
.#invoke:Unicode data|is|rtl
as well as#invoke:Unicode data|is|valid_pagename
and#invoke:Unicode data|is|Latin
interpret their arguments as strings rather than code points in hexadecimal because the corresponding functions in the module take strings. (They could take hexadecimal arguments if someone edited the module to add another parameter to tell them to interpret their argument this way.) — Eru·tuon 01:02, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Erutuon: Thanks, will work for me. Great module! (Second code example is
{{#invoke:Unicode data|is|rtl|ש}}
). -DePiep (talk) 17:28, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Erutuon: Thanks, will work for me. Great module! (Second code example is
- The four characters, is_rtl:
- using &#x...; false
- using &#x...; true
- using &#x...; true
- using &#x...; true
is_pagename
[edit]Resolved
In the function is_pagename
, does "pagename" stand for "blockname"? Or wider? -DePiep (talk) 05:17, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- Resolved: refers to "valid WP pagename", related to WP:NCTR invalid title characters like "#". -DePiep (talk) 11:34, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
Missing documentation: Hangul, Aliases
[edit]I am developing the documentation, especially in Module:Unicode data § List of functions. To completify, can someone point out how or where the data /aliases and /Hangul can be retrieved (implementation)? DePiep (talk) 11:39, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
is_RTL check?
[edit]About U+0634 ش ARABIC LETTER SHEEN [4]:
- {{#invoke:Unicode data |is|rtl|0x0634}} → false
I expect true (is_rtl), right? -DePiep (talk) 23:00, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
- Solved: enter the character <ش >, not the U+hex:
- {{#invoke:Unicode data |is|rtl|ش }} → true

Description of suggested change: the module code says "-- No image data modules on Wikipedia yet."
We have them now. Can this be enabled? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 05:37, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Can you sandbox the code? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:46, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- MSGJ, I don't speak Lua.. I edited Module:Unicode data/sandbox to sync with the current version and I uncommented the block.
{{#invoke:Unicode data/sandbox|lookup|image|0xA9}}
returns Unicode 0x00A9.svg (File:Unicode 0x00A9.svg) so I think this works? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:19, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Done I'm not sure I agree with your importing of so many modules from other wikis, but in any event there was never any good reason to comment out that code as opposed to just letting uses of it fail. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:36, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Creation of p.is_noncharacter()
as a separate function
Diff:
− | function p. -- https://www.unicode.org/faq/private_use.html#nonchar4
| + | function p.is_noncharacter(codepoint)
-- U+FDD0-U+FDEF and all code points ending in FFFE or FFFF are Unassigned
-- (Cn) and specifically noncharacters:
-- https://www.unicode.org/faq/private_use.html#nonchar4 return 0xFDD0 <= codepoint and (codepoint <= 0xFDEF or floor(codepoint % 0x10000) >= 0xFFFE) end function p.lookup_name(codepoint) if is_noncharacter(codepoint) then return ("<noncharacter-%04X>"):format(codepoint) end |
