Comment (by pulkomandy):
The unicode blocks are defined in the standard, Wikipedia has a list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_block
Source of the block list at unicode:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt
I think the API could use that, but being able to check a more specific
range is great too (in some cases, I want to check that a font has a few
special characters I'm going to use - not a whole block).
So, what I would do is:
1) Keep your patch as it is, with support for checking characters in a
given range
2) Add an API to convert an unicode block constant to the matching range
(we can use unicode_block_range for this)
3) Update our block constant list to match Unicode 9, and make the API to
match them with unicode_block_range handle all these blocks.
