幸运的是,Unicode块的数量非常小.

此实现接受单字符Unicode字符串,就像unicodedata中的函数一样.如果您的输入主要是ASCII,则此线性搜索甚至可能比使用bisect或其他任何内容的二进制搜索更快.如果我提交它以包含在Python标准库中,我可能会通过C中的静态初始化结构数组将其写为二进制搜索.

def block(ch):
  '''
  Return the Unicode block name for ch,or None if ch has no block.

  >>> block(u'a')
  'Basic Latin'
  >>> block(unichr(0x0b80))
  'Tamil'
  >>> block(unichr(0xe0080))

  '''

  assert isinstance(ch,unicode) and len(ch) == 1,repr(ch)
  cp = ord(ch)
  for start,end,name in _blocks:
    if start <= cp <= end:
      return name

def _initBlocks(text):
  global _blocks
  _blocks = []
  import re
  pattern = re.compile(r'([0-9A-F]+)\.\.([0-9A-F]+);\ (\S.*\S)')
  for line in text.splitlines():
    m = pattern.match(line)
    if m:
      start,name = m.groups()
      _blocks.append((int(start,16),int(end,name))
