letters, or C<\P{Nd}> for non-digits. If a C<name> is just one
letter, the braces can be dropped. For instance, C<\pM> is the
character class of Unicode 'marks', for example accent marks.
-Here is the list as of Unicode 3.1.0 (the two-letter classes) and
-Perl 5.8.0 (the one-letter classes):
-
- L Letter
- Lu Letter, Uppercase
- Ll Letter, Lowercase
- Lt Letter, Titlecase
- Lm Letter, Modifier
- Lo Letter, Other
- M Mark
- Mn Mark, Non-Spacing
- Mc Mark, Spacing Combining
- Me Mark, Enclosing
- N Number
- Nd Number, Decimal Digit
- Nl Number, Letter
- No Number, Other
- P Punctuation
- Pc Punctuation, Connector
- Pd Punctuation, Dash
- Ps Punctuation, Open
- Pe Punctuation, Close
- Pi Punctuation, Initial quote
- (may behave like Ps or Pe depending on usage)
- Pf Punctuation, Final quote
- (may behave like Ps or Pe depending on usage)
- Po Punctuation, Other
- S Symbol
- Sm Symbol, Math
- Sc Symbol, Currency
- Sk Symbol, Modifier
- So Symbol, Other
- Z Separator
- Zs Separator, Space
- Zl Separator, Line
- Zp Separator, Paragraph
- C Other
- Cc Other, Control
- Cf Other, Format
- Cs Other, Surrogate
- Co Other, Private Use
- Cn Other, Not Assigned (Unicode defines no Cn characters)
-
-Additionally, because scripts differ in their directionality
-(for example Hebrew is written right to left), all characters
-have their directionality defined:
-
- BidiL Left-to-Right
- BidiLRE Left-to-Right Embedding
- BidiLRO Left-to-Right Override
- BidiR Right-to-Left
- BidiAL Right-to-Left Arabic
- BidiRLE Right-to-Left Embedding
- BidiRLO Right-to-Left Override
- BidiPDF Pop Directional Format
- BidiEN European Number
- BidiES European Number Separator
- BidiET European Number Terminator
- BidiAN Arabic Number
- BidiCS Common Number Separator
- BidiNSM Non-Spacing Mark
- BidiBN Boundary Neutral
- BidiB Paragraph Separator
- BidiS Segment Separator
- BidiWS Whitespace
- BidiON Other Neutrals

+The Unicode has also been separated into blocks of charaters which you
+can test with C<\p{InBlock}> and C<\P{InBlock}>, for example C<\p{InGreek}>
+and C<\P{InKatakana}. For the full list see L<perlunicode>.
For the the full and latest information see the latest Unicode standard.
with all non-alphanumeric characters removed, for example the block
name C<"Latin-1 Supplement"> becomes C<\p{InLatin1Supplement}>.
