!rant Spent days reading Unicode docs, trying to make sense of what codepoints were included in every Unicode property escape in JavaScript and awk’ing the heck out of the different text files associated with them.

Then at around midnight the other night, it came to me. I was an idiot.

I could literally just create an array including every Unicode codepoint and write a program to iterate through the array and test if it matched against a Unicode property escape.

Program to compare against Unicode property escape: https://gist.github.com/AmyShackles...

So. Much. Easier.

Happy 2024, friends.
