unicode_names2

Build Status

Time and memory efficiently mapping characters to and from their Unicode 8.0 names, at runtime and compile-time.

```rust extern crate unicode_names2;

fn main() { println!("☃ is called {}", unicodenames2::name('☃')); // SNOWMAN println!("{} is happy", unicodenames2::character("white smiling face")); // ☺ // (NB. case insensitivity) } ```

The maps are compressed using similar tricks to Python's unicodedata module, although those here are about 70KB (12%) smaller.
