Remarks

The Unicode characters are divided into categories. A character's category is one of its properties. For example, a character might be an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a decimal digit number, a letter number, a connector punctuation, a math symbol, or a currency symbol. The UnicodeCategory class returns the category of a Unicode character. For more information on Unicode characters, see the Unicode Standard.

The GetUnicodeCategory method assumes that ch corresponds to a single linguistic character and returns its category. This means that, for surrogate pairs, it returns UnicodeCategory.Surrogate instead of the category to which the surrogate belongs. For example, the Ugaritic alphabet occupies code points U+10380 to U+1039F. The following example uses the ConvertFromUtf32 method to instantiate a string that represents UGARITIC LETTER ALPA (U+10380), which is the first letter of the Ugaritic alphabet. As the output from the example shows, the IsNumber(Char) method returns false if it is passed either the high surrogate or the low surrogate of this character.

int utf32 = 0x10380;       // UGARITIC LETTER ALPA
string surrogate = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(utf32);
foreach (var ch in surrogate)
    Console.WriteLine($"U+{(ushort)ch:X4}: {System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(ch):G}");
// The example displays the following output:
//       U+D800: Surrogate
//       U+DF80: Surrogate

Dim utf32 As Integer = &h10380       ' UGARITIC LETTER ALPA
Dim surrogate As String = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(utf32)
For Each ch In surrogate
   Console.WriteLine("U+{0:X4}: {1:G}", 
                     Convert.ToUInt16(ch), 
                     System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(ch))
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'       U+D800: Surrogate
'       U+DF80: Surrogate

Note that CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory does not always return the same UnicodeCategory value as the Char.GetUnicodeCategory method when passed a particular character as a parameter. The CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory method is designed to reflect the current version of the Unicode standard. In contrast, although the Char.GetUnicodeCategory method usually reflects the current version of the Unicode standard, it might return a character's category based on a previous version of the standard, or it might return a category that differs from the current standard to preserve backward compatibility.

Remarks

The Unicode characters are divided into categories. A character's category is one of its properties. For example, a character might be an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a decimal digit number, a letter number, a connector punctuation, a math symbol, or a currency symbol. The UnicodeCategory class returns the category of a Unicode character. For more information on Unicode characters, see the Unicode Standard.

If the Char object at position index is the first character of a valid surrogate pair, the GetUnicodeCategory(String, Int32) method returns the Unicode category of the surrogate pair instead of returning UnicodeCategory.Surrogate. For example, the Ugaritic alphabet occupies code points U+10380 to U+1039F. The following example uses the ConvertFromUtf32 method to instantiate a string that represents UGARITIC LETTER ALPA (U+10380), which is the first letter of the Ugaritic alphabet. As the output from the example shows, the GetUnicodeCategory(String, Int32) method returns UnicodeCategory.OtherLetter if it is passed the high surrogate of this character, which indicates that it considers the surrogate pair. However, if it is passed the low surrogate, it considers only the low surrogate in isolation and returns UnicodeCategory.Surrogate.

int utf32 = 0x10380;       // UGARITIC LETTER ALPA
string surrogate = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(utf32);
for (int ctr = 0; ctr < surrogate.Length; ctr++)
    Console.WriteLine($"U+{(ushort)surrogate[ctr]:X4}: {System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(surrogate, ctr):G}");
// The example displays the following output:
//       U+D800: OtherLetter
//       U+DF80: Surrogate

Dim utf32 As Integer = &h10380       ' UGARITIC LETTER ALPA
Dim surrogate As String = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(utf32)
For ctr As Integer = 0 To surrogate.Length - 1
   Console.WriteLine("U+{0:X4}: {1:G}", 
                     Convert.ToUInt16(surrogate(ctr)), 
                     System.Globalization.CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(surrogate, ctr))
Next
' The example displays the following output:
'       U+D800: OtherLetter
'       U+DF80: Surrogate

Note that CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory method does not always return the same UnicodeCategory value as the Char.GetUnicodeCategory method when passed a particular character as a parameter. The CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory method is designed to reflect the current version of the Unicode standard. In contrast, although the Char.GetUnicodeCategory method usually reflects the current version of the Unicode standard, it might return a character's category based on a previous version of the standard, or it might return a category that differs from the current standard to preserve backward compatibility.
