Sorry about that. > I don't suppose that big list can be auto-generated from the inputs? It's not trivial. I describe below some of the issues, in the hope that Someone™ will volunteer: . Most of the script names come from the corresponding Unicode blocks, with trivial transformations (downcase words and replace blanks with a hyphen). So basically, we will need to use the information in Blocks.txt, a file that is part of the Unicode Character Database (UCD), but with quirks described below. . The first quirk is that we lump together all the blocks that belong to the same script, like "Basic Latin", "Latin Extended-A", "Latin-1 Supplement", etc. -- these all go to the single script called 'latin'. Likewise with other similar blocks that are either "SOMETHING Extended" or "Supplement" or whatever. . The second quirk is with the CJK characters: those are divided into several broad scripts like 'han', 'kana', and 'cjk-misc' whose exact rules I don't know. . The third quirk is with the 'symbol' pseudo-script: we lump there all punctuation characters and all symbol characters (those for which the General Category is one of Pc, Pd, Ps, Pe, Pi, Pf, Po, Sm, Sc, Sk, So), but with the following notable exception: punctuation characters that belong to blocks that include non-punctuation characters are left in those blocks -- those are punctuation characters used only with the scripts named by those blocks, like U+05BE HEBREW PUNCTUATION MAQAF, which is only used by the Hebrew script. . Another quirk is that mathematical alphanumerics (which are just letters from the Unicode POV) are lumped into a separate script 'mathematical'. Alternatively, one could use Scripts.txt from the UCD, and then the only problem is to subdivide what they call "Common" into the scripts we use. For the general category of a character, one can do in Emacs: (get-char-code-property CHAR 'general-category) Alternatively, one can search UnicodeData.txt directly: the General Category is the 3rd field there. Patches are welcome to do all of the above automatically, perhaps with some small database that expresses the more tricky of the above rules.
