fribidi_get_bidi_type(3) Programmer's Manual fribidi_get_bidi_type(3)
NAME
fribidi_get_bidi_type - get character bidi type
SYNOPSIS
#include <fribidi.h>
FriBidiCharType fribidi_get_bidi_type(FriBidiChar ch);
PARAMETERS
FriBidiChar ch
Input character.
DESCRIPTION
This function returns the bidi type of a character as defined in Table 3.7 Bidirectional Character Types of the
Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm available at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/#Bidirectional_Character_Types,
using data provided in file UnicodeData.txt of the Unicode Character Database available at http://www.uni‐
code.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt.
There are a few macros defined in fribidi-bidi-types.h for querying a bidi type.
RETURNS
Since there are 23 possible values for a FriBidiCharType, they are not all listed here.
