Find out the unicode script of a character

Question

Given a unicode character what would be the simplest way to return its script (as \"Latin\", \"Hangul\" etc)? unicodedata doesn\'t seem to provide this kind of feature.

Answer 1

You can use ord to retrieve the numeric value of a character (it works on both unicode and byte strings of length 1).

The next step, unfortunately, will involve you then testing against the ranges. Possibly the data here will be of assistance: http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads
