Time and memory efficiently mapping characters to and from their Unicode 8.0 names, at runtime and compile-time.
rust
fn main() {
println!("☃ is called {}", unicode_names2::name('☃')); // SNOWMAN
println!("{} is happy", unicode_names2::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.
