Safe-code-point NPM

safe-code-point

Package for determining whether the supplied code point is "safe". This module (well, code very much like it) was used to generate code points for Base65536, Base32768 and Base2048.

This package supports ES modules only.

Example

import SafeCodePoint from 'safe-code-point'

const safeCodePoint = await SafeCodePoint('12.0.0')
const numCodePoints = (1 << 16) + (1 << 20)

let numSafeCodePoints = 0
for (let codePoint = 0; codePoint < numCodePoints; codePoint++) {
  if (safeCodePoint(codePoint)) {
    numSafeCodePoints++
  }
}

console.log(numSafeCodePoints)

API

SafeCodePoint(version)

Returns a promise which resolves to a safeCodePoint function for the supplied version of Unicode.

Data is fetched from the Unicode website at run time. At the time of writing, supported version strings are a subset of those seen in that directory: '4.1.0' to '13.0.0'. (Earlier versions do not provide the data in the same consumable structure, and Unicode 14.0.0 is a work in progress.)

safeCodePoint(codePoint)

Returns a Boolean indicating whether the supplied code point is safe (is not a member of any unsafe Unicode General Categories, has a canonical combining class of 0 and survives all forms of normalization). codePoint should be an integer from 0 to 1114111 inclusive.
