Universe

This package ports part of the Unicode Character Database to Typst. Notably, it includes information from UnicodeData.txt and Blocks.txt.

Usage

This package defines a single function: codepoint. It lets you get the information related to a specific codepoint. The codepoint can be specified as a string containing a single character, or with its value.

#codepoint("√").name \
#codepoint(sym.times).block.name \
#codepoint(0x00C9).general-category \
#codepoint(sym.eq).math-class

You can display a codepoint in the style of Template:Unichar using the show entry:

#codepoint("¤").show \
#codepoint(sym.copyright).show \
#codepoint(0x1249).show \
#codepoint(0x100000).show
