Unicode Character Data API

Unicode Character Data API

The Unicode Consortium publishes the Unicode Character Database (UCD) as free, open data files — not a traditional REST API. The UCD contains names, properties, categories, bidirectional class, and script information for every Unicode character. Developers typically access this data through language libraries (Python's unicodedata module, Java's Character class) or third-party REST wrappers rather than directly querying the Unicode website. Essential for i18n, text processing, and handling Nigerian language scripts.
