=head1 NAME
perluniprops - Index of Unicode Version 15.0.0 character properties in Perl
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This document provides information about the portion of the Unicode database
that deals with character properties, that is the portion that is defined on
single code points. (L
below briefly mentions other data that Unicode provides.)
Perl can provide access to all non-provisional Unicode character properties,
though not all are enabled by default. The omitted ones are the Unihan
properties and certain
deprecated or Unicode-internal properties. (An installation may choose to
recompile Perl's tables to change this. See L.)
For most purposes, access to Unicode properties from the Perl core is through
regular expression matches, as described in the next section.
For some special purposes, and to access the properties that are not suitable
for regular expression matching, all the Unicode character properties that
Perl handles are accessible via the standard L<:ucd> module, as
described in the section L.
Perl also provides some additional extensions and short-cut synonyms
for Unicode properties.
This document merely lists all available properties and does not attempt to
explain what each property really means. There is a brief description of each
Perl extension; see L
