Unicode Character Data API
Development Tools · Utility Tools
The Unicode Character Data API provides a programmatic interface for looking up detailed properties of Unicode characters by their code point value or the character itself. Unicode is the universal character encoding standard that assigns a unique numeric code point to every character in every writing system in the world from Latin to Cyrillic, Arabic to Chinese, and including the special characters and diacritical marks used in Nigerian languages like Yoruba and Igbo.
Unicode Character Data API Highlights
Unicode Character Data API is verified for developer integrations in Nigeria and across African markets, providing documented endpoints, sandbox testing, and developer support.

Different Unicode Character Data API use cases
- Nigerian App Yoruba/Igbo Character Validation:Nigerian app developers building text inputs for Yoruba and Igbo which use diacritical marks and special characters not in basic ASCII can use the Unicode Character Data API to validate, classify, and normalize input characters, ensuring correct storage and display of Nigerian language text.
- Nigerian NLP Pipeline Character Classification:Nigerian natural language processing engineers building text analysis tools for Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, or Pidgin content can use Unicode character properties to classify and filter characters by script, category, and type building language-aware text processing pipelines.
- Nigerian Font and Typography Tool Character Support:Nigerian developers building typography tools or font selection interfaces can use Unicode character data to determine which Unicode blocks and scripts a font supports helping Nigerian designers select fonts that correctly render Yoruba diacritical characters and other Nigerian language-specific characters.
