This commit fixes most of UCD's names. The two main fixes are:

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Unicode layer now generates and resolves algorithmic character names. It also exposes version-aware membership checks. The standard library validates lookup and name results against the active Unicode database.

Changes

Unicode name generation and resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Algorithmic name data generation
crates/unicode/build.rs, crates/unicode/Cargo.toml
The build process collects Unicode name ranges, validates range markers, excludes unsupported ranges, and generates algo_names.rs.
Algorithmic name resolution
crates/unicode/src/data.rs
lookup_character and character_name use generated algorithmic names as fallbacks. Tangut ideograph names are parsed and validated against the generated table.

Version-aware membership validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Membership API and standard-library checks
crates/unicode/src/data.rs, crates/stdlib/src/unicodedata.rs
membership_3_2 is public, and Ucd::membership selects Unicode 3.2 or modern membership behavior. lookup and name require active-database membership. Numeric tests use exact assertions and cover .

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1b078

Algorithmic Tangut names are now supported, but lookup currently accepts some invalid spellings instead of raising KeyError. The impact is limited to name lookup and Unicode escape behavior, so the change is mergeable with owner awareness or a targeted fix.

github is having problems again, I've tried to cancel some of the workflows to rerun them but couldn't re-run them, only cancel them.

Hopefully I'll remember to re-run them once github fixes it. ping me incase I don't:)

Oh wow, so it turns out that there are algorithmically derived names that are not in unicode_names2. It looks like I'll have to do some parsing.

My original parser was monolithic and inflexible. It worked as intended
for the derived data files, but anything more complicated required hacky
code. For example, the original parser always expected to build a vector
of values, yet sometimes we required other data structures such as
BTreeMaps.

I split up the parser into helper functions that are both cleaner and

this doesn't "fix" anything yet. However, this is preliminary work for

Add a test for the new algorithmic name path.

The added assertions cover numeric values only. The algorithmic name feature is the point of this change and has no test. A round-trip test would pin both directions and would also catch a wrong generated ALGO_NAMES range.

312-312: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the First>/Last> marker order for each pair.

The pairing logic only checks that the number of marker lines is even. It does not check that the first element of a chunk is a First> line and the second is a Last> line. If a future vendored UnicodeData.txt adds or removes one marker line, the chunks shift by one and a Last> start gets paired with the next range's First> start. The prefix match at lines 323-330 does not catch every shifted case, so the generated ALGO_NAMES can contain a range that spans unrelated code points. character_name would then return a Tangut name for a non-Tangut character.

Add a cheap assertion so the build fails instead of generating a wrong table.

🌐 Web query:

Does Rust u32::from_str_radix accept a leading plus sign?

💡 Result:

Yes, the Rust u32::from_str_radix function accepts an optional leading plus sign ('+') followed by digits [1][2][3][4]. The official documentation explicitly states that the string is expected to be an optional '+' sign followed by digits [1][4]. Note that while this behavior is intentional for numeric parsing, it has been noted as a potential pitfall when users attempt to parse hexadecimal strings (where a leading '+' might be unexpected) [5].

🌐 Web query:

Rust u32::from_str_radix hexadecimal lowercase digits optional plus sign official documentation; CPython unicodedata.lookup algorithmic Tangut name whitespace sign

💡 Result:

In Rust, the u32::from_str_radix function expects a string slice that consists of an optional plus sign ('+') followed by digits [1][2]. It does not support a negative sign (as it parses to an unsigned integer). The digits accepted depend on the provided radix (2-36), and include both '0'-'9' and 'a'-'z' or 'A'-'Z' for hexadecimal (radix 16) [1][3]. Leading and trailing whitespace in the input string are considered errors [1][4]. Regarding CPython's unicodedata.lookup function and Tangut ideographs: historically, lookup did not support algorithmic names for Tangut ideographs, causing them to raise a ValueError [5][6]. This was addressed in CPython (notably in versions 3.13 and later) to correctly support these names [5][7]. The name format for these ideographs follows the pattern "TANGUT IDEOGRAPH-XXXXX", where "XXXXX" is the hexadecimal representation of the code point [6][8]. The lookup function is case-insensitive for most names, but algorithmic names like those for Tangut ideographs must generally conform to the expected format [5][8]. Whitespace within the name string is not a supported separator for the algorithmic portion (e.g., "TANGUT IDEOGRAPH-17000" is correct, whereas adding arbitrary whitespace inside the identifier component would not be) [8].

Reject non-canonical Tangut name suffixes.

AlgorithmicName::check_name parses the suffix after TANGUT IDEOGRAPH- with u32::from_str_radix(..., 16) and then accepts the character when lookup_table(ALGO_NAMES, ch) identifies it as Tangut. Because .trim() removes surrounding whitespace and radix 16 accepts + and lowercase hexadecimal digits, non-canonical names can resolve instead of raising KeyError. Restrict the suffix to non-empty uppercase hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F) before parsing. This path serves unicodedata.lookup and \N{...} parsing.
