TheUnicode Standard assigns various properties to each Unicode character andcode point.[1][2]
The properties can be used to handle characters (code points) in processes, like in line-breaking, script direction right-to-left or applying controls. Some "character properties" are also defined for code points that have no character assigned and code points that are labelled like "<not a character>". The character properties are described in Standard Annex #44.[2]
Properties have levels of forcefulness: normative, informative, contributory, or provisional. For simplicity of specification, a character property can be assigned by specifying a continuous range of code points that have the same property.[3]
Properties are displayed in the following order:[4]
[code];[name];[gc];[cc];[bc];[decomposition];[nv-dec];[nv-dig];[nv-num];[bm];[alias];;[upper case];[lower case];[title case]
alias = corrected name. Obsolete. Now tracked with a separate database, but remains for Unicode 1.0 names.bc = bidi (bidirectional) category [L, R etc]bm = bidi mirrored [N or Y]cc = combining class [position of diacritic]decomposition type or <mapping> = letter + diacritic, ligature X Y, superscript X, font X, initial X, medial X, final X, isolated X, vertical X, etc.gc = general category [letter, symbol, digit, punctuation, case behaviour, etc.]nv = numeric type and value [of a digit]. If numeric type is 'decimal', all 3 slots are filled. If 'digit', the first will be null. (This has been discontinued.) If 'numeric', then the first two will be null and only the last will be used.The property betweenalias andupper case is obsolete and is now null for all Unicode characters.
A Unicode character is assigned a uniqueName (na).[1] The name is composed of uppercase letters A–Z, digits 0–9,hyphen-minus andspace. Some sequences are excluded: names beginning with a space or hyphen, names ending with a space or hyphen, repeated spaces or hyphens, and space after hyphen are not allowed. The name is guaranteed to be unique within Unicode, and can be used to identify a code point and its character. Ideographic characters, of which there are tens of thousands, are named in the pattern "cjk unified ideograph-hhhh". For example,U+4E00 一CJK UNIFIED IDEOGRAPH-4E00. Formatting characters also have names:U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE.
The following Unicode categories do not have a Name value assigned: Controls (General Category: Cc), Private use (Co), Surrogate (Cs), Non-characters (Cn) and Reserved (Cn). They may be referenced, informally, by a generic or specific meta-name, called "Code Point Labels": <control>, <control-0088>, <reserved>, <noncharacter-hhhh>, <private-use-hhhh>, or <surrogate>. Since these labels contain "<" and ">", they can never appear in a Name, which prevents confusion.
In version 2.0 of Unicode, many names were changed. From then on the rule "a name will never change" came into effect, including the strict (normative) use of alias names. Disused Unicode 1.0 names were moved to the property Alias, to provide backward compatibility.
For example,U+0264 ɤLATIN SMALL LETTER RAMS HORN has the Unicode 1.0 name "LATIN SMALL LETTER BABY GAMMA".
Starting from Unicode 2.0, the published name for a code point will never change. Therefore, in the event of a character name being misspelled or if the character name is completely wrong or seriously misleading, a formalCharacter Name Alias may be assigned to the character, and this alias may be used by applications instead of the actual defective character name.[1] For example,U+FE18 ︘PRESENTATION FORM FOR VERTICAL RIGHT WHITE LENTICULAR BRAKCET has the character name alias "PRESENTATION FORM FOR VERTICAL RIGHT WHITE LENTICULAR BRACKET" in order to mitigate the misspelling of "bracket" as "brakcet" [sic] in the actual character name;U+A015 ꀕYI SYLLABLE WU has the character name alias"YI SYLLABLE ITERATION MARK" because, contrary to the character name, it does not have a fixed syllabic value.
In addition to character name aliases which are corrections to defective character names, some characters are assigned aliases which are alternative names or abbreviations. Five types of character name aliases are defined in the Unicode Standard:
All formal character name aliases follow the rules for permissible character names, and are guaranteed to be unique within both the character name alias and the character name namespaces (for this reason, the ISO 6429 name "BELL" is not defined as an alias forU+0007 <control-0007> because U+1F514 is named "BELL"; U+0007 instead has the alias "ALERT").[1]
As of Unicode 16.0, 35 formal character name aliases are defined as corrections for defective character names.[5]
Apart from these normative names,informal names may be shown in the Unicode code charts. These are other commonly used names for a character, and do not have the same character restriction. These informal names are not guaranteed to be unique, and may be changed or removed in later versions of the standard.
Each code point is assigned a value for General Category. This is one of the character properties that are also defined for unassigned code points and code points that are defined "not a character".

Characters have separate properties to denote they are apunctuation character. The properties all have aYes/No values:Dash,Quotation_Mark,Sentence_Terminal,Terminal_Punctuation. ThePunctuation property refers to characters that are used to divide or structure text, and these are classified into different types based on their roles. Unicode assigns these punctuation characters specific categories.
Whitespace is a commonly used concept for a typographic effect. Basically it covers invisible characters that have a spacing effect in rendered text. It includesspaces, tabs, and new line formatting controls. In Unicode, such a character has the property setWSpace=yes. In version 16.0, there are 25 whitespace characters.

The Case value is normative in Unicode. It pertains to those scripts with uppercase and lowercase letters. Case-difference occurs in Adlam, Armenian, Cherokee, Coptic, Cyrillic, Deseret, Garay, Glagolitic, Greek, Khutsuri and Mkhedruli Georgian, Latin, Medefaidrin, Old Hungarian, Osage, Vithkuqi and Warang Citi scripts.
Different languages have different case mapping rules.
In Turkish,U+0069 iLATIN SMALL LETTER I corresponds toU+0130 İLATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE instead ofU+0049 ILATIN CAPITAL LETTER I. Similarly,U+0049 ILATIN CAPITAL LETTER I when corresponds toU+0131 ıLATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I instead ofU+0069 iLATIN SMALL LETTER I.
InNawdm, the letter Ĥ corresponds to ɦ in lowercase instead of the usual case mappings being Ĥĥ and Ɦɦ.
In Greek, the letter sigma has different lowercase forms depending on where it is in a word.U+03A3 ΣGREEK CAPITAL LETTER SIGMA converts toU+03C3 σGREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA if it is at the start or middle of a word, and converts toU+03C2 ςGREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA if it is at the end of a word.
In Lithuanian, the dot in lowercase i and j is preserved when followed by accents. For example: Í in lowercase is i̇́.[19]
Despite the existence ofU+1E9E ẞLATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S,U+00DF ßLATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S corresponds to "SS".
Unicode encodes 31 titlecase characters.

Six character properties pertain to bi-directional writing:Bidi_Class,Bidi_Control,Bidi_Mirrored,Bidi_Mirroring_Glyph,Bidi_Paired_Bracket andBidi_Paired_Bracket_Type.
One of Unicode's major features is support of bi-directional (Bidi) text display right-to-left (R-to-L) and left-to-right (L-to-R). The Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm UAX9[20] describes the process of presenting text with altering script directions. For example, it enables a Hebrew quote in an English text. TheBidi_Character_Type marks a character's behaviour in directional writing. To override a direction, Unicode has defined specialformatting control characters (Bidi-Control characters). These characters can enforce a direction, and by definition only affect bi-directional writing.
Each code point has a property calledBidi_Class. It defines its behaviour in a bidirectional text as interpreted by the algorithm:
| Type[2] | Description | Strength | Directionality | General scope | Bidi_Control character[3] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L | Left-to-Right | Strong | L-to-R | Most alphabetic and syllabic characters, Chinese characters, non-European or non-Arabic digits, LRM character, ... | U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK (LRM) |

In normal situations, the algorithm can determine the direction of a text by this character property. To control more complex Bidi situations, e.g. when an English text has a Hebrew quote, extra options are added to Unicode. 12 characters have the propertyBidi_Control=Yes: ALM, FSI, LRE, LRI, LRM, LRO, PDF, PDI, RLE, RLI, RLM and RLO as named in the table. These are invisible formatting control characters, only used by the algorithm and with no effect outside of bidirectional formatting.[20] Despite the name, they are formatting characters, not control characters, and have General categoryOther, format (Cf) in the Unicode definition.
Basically, the algorithm determines a sequence of characters with the same strong direction type (R-to-Lor L-to-R), taking in account an overruling by the special Bidi-controls. Number strings (Weak types) are assigned a direction according to their strong environment, as are Neutral characters. Finally, the characters are displayed per a string's direction.
Two character properties are relevant to determining a mirror image of a glyph in bidirectional text:Bidi_Mirrored=Yes indicates that the glyph should be mirrored when written R-to-L. The propertyBidi_Mirroring_Glyph=U+hhhh can then point to the mirrored character. For example, parentheses(,) are mirrored this way. Shaping cursive scripts such as Arabic, and mirroring glyphs that have a direction, is not part of the algorithm.
Characters are classified with aNumeric type.[1] Characters such as fractions, subscripts, superscripts, Roman numerals, currency numerators, encircled numbers, and script-specific digits are type Numeric. They have anumeric value that can be decimal, including zero and negatives, or a vulgar fraction. If there is not such a value, as with most of the characters, the numeric type is "None".
The characters that do have a numeric value are separated in three groups: Decimal (De), Digit (Di) and Numeric (Nu, i.e. all other). "Decimal" means the character is a straight decimal digit. Only characters that are part of a contiguous encoded range 0..9 have numeric type Decimal. Other digits, like superscripts, have numeric type Digit. All numeric characters like fractions and Roman numerals end up with the type "Numeric". The intended effect is that a simple parser can use these decimal numeric values, without being distracted by say a numeric superscript or a fraction. Eighty-three CJK Ideographs that represent a number, including those used for accounting, are typed Numeric.
On the other hand, characters that could have a numeric value as a second meaning are still marked Numeric typeNone, and have no numeric value. E.g. Latin letters can be used in paragraph numbering like "II.A.1.b", but the letters "I", "A" and "b" are not numeric (typeNone) and have no numeric value.

Forty-four characters are marked asHex_Digit. The ones in the Basic Latin block are also marked asASCII_Hex_Digit.
Unicode has no separate characters for hexadecimal values. A consequence is, that when using regular characters it is not possible to determine whether hexadecimal value is intended, or even whether a value is intended at all. That should be determined at a higher level, e.g. by prepending0x to a hexadecimal number or by context. The only feature is that Unicode can note that a sequencecan or can not be a hexadecimal value.
Ablock is a uniquely named, contiguous range of code points. It is identified by its first and last code point. Blocks do notoverlap, nor do they extend across planes. The number of code points in each block must be a multiple of 16. A block may contain code points that are reserved, not-assigned, etc. Each character thatis assigned, has a single "block name" value from the 338 names assigned as of Unicode version 16.0. Unassigned code points outside of an existing block have the default value "No_block".

Each assigned character can have a single value for its "Script" property, signifying to which script it belongs.[21] The value is a four-letter code in the range Aaaa-Zzzz, as available in ISO 15924, which is mapped to awriting system. Apart from when describing the background and usage of a script, Unicode does not use a connection between ascript andlanguages that use that script. So "Hebrew" refers to the Hebrew script, not to the Hebrew language.
The special code Zyyy for "Common" allows a single value for a character that is used in multiple scripts. The code Zinh "Inherited script", used for combining characters and certain other special-purpose code points, indicates that a character "inherits" its script identity from the character with which it is combined. (Unicode formerly used the private code Qaai for this purpose.) The code Zzzz "Unknown" is used for all characters that do not belong to a script (i.e. the default value), such as symbols and formatting characters. Overall, characters of a single script can be scattered over multiple blocks, likeLatin characters. And the other way around too: multiple scripts can be present is a single block, e.g. blockLetterlike Symbols contains characters from the Latin, Greek and Common scripts.
When the Script is "" (blank), according to Unicode the character does not belong to a script. This pertains to symbols, because the existing ISO script codes "Zmth" (Mathematical notation), "Zsym" (Symbol), and "Zsye" (Symbol, emoji variant) are not used in Unicode. The "Script" property is also blank for code points that are not a typographic character like controls, substitutes, and private use code points.
If there is a specific script alias name in ISO 15924, it is used in the character name:U+0041 ALATIN CAPITAL LETTER A, andU+05D0 אHEBREW LETTER ALEF.

Age is the version of the standard in which the code point was first designated. The version number is shortened to the numberingmajor.minor', although there more detailed version numbers are used: versions 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 both are named 4.0 as Age. Given the releases, Age can be from the range: 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 13.0, 14.0, 15.0, 15.1, and 16.0.[22] The long values for Age begin in a V and use an underscore instead of a dot: V1_1, for example.[2] Codepoints without a specifically assigned age value have the value "NA", with the long form "Unassigned".
Once a character has been defined, it will not be removed or reassigned.[23] However, a character may bedeprecated, meaning its "use is strongly discouraged".[24] As of Unicode version 16.0, the following fifteen characters are deprecated:[25]

Unicode can assignalias names to code points. These names are unique over all names (including regular ones), so they can be used as identifier. There are five possible reasons to add an alias:
Once a character is encoded, it will not be moved or removed.
