Class UnicodeMap

java.lang.Object
  ch.claudio.lib.UnicodeMap

public final class UnicodeMap
extends java.lang.Object

Maps an unicode block to the range of codepoints covered. Beware: This class executes Character.UnicodeBlock.of() on all possible codepoints between Character.MIN_CODE_POINT and Character.MAX_CODE_POINT, and on a weak CPU can take some time to initialize. On 2.4GHz Pentium 4-M with Sun JDK 1.5.0_06 this consumes about 0.2 seconds. It assumes, that every UnicodeBlock is assigned to a continuous range of characters. An assertion is triggered if a block would contain characters of two separate code blocks.

TODO: Given the assumption, a more intelligent algorithm could be devised with reduced execution time.
