CodepointRange


Data Type	Description
CodepointRange	Sequence of Unicode codepoints to be included; expressed as `Codepoint..Codepoint` (inclusive).

For ease of use, SHIPTide contains Keywords for common groups of codepoints such as Basic ASCII, Accented Letters, Kanji, etc.

Examples of single codepoints:

0x1 - codepoint 0x0001
#12F4 - codepoint 0x12F4
12F4 - invalid, since 12F4 is not a valid decimal number and is not prefixed by # or 0x indicating it would be a hex value
0x12 - codepoint 0x0012
0x12345 - invalid... greater than 65535
0x1234 - codepoint 0x1234
1234 - codepoint decimal 1234, hex 0x04D2

0x20..0x200 -- codepoints 0x0020 through 0x0200 inclusive
0x1234..#1234 -- valid, but only one codepoint 0x1234 , and can be more simply expressed as 0x1234
0x1234..0x1222 -- invalid, range cannot go backwards

You can also specify a List of CodepointRanges, for example:

0x20..0x7F,0xB1 -- the ASCII printable character range plus the degrees symbol
0x20..0x7F,0xB1,0x2122 -- adds the trademark symbol to the set

You can combine hex values with CodepointRange Keywords like this:

0x20..0x7F,Latin-A -- which is the basic ASCII range plus extended Latin characters
