Get names of Unicode characters

[Michael A. Covington]

Is there anything in the .NET Framework, or any third-party class I can get,
that would translate Unicode characters to their names? For example, given
\u0033 it should give me "Numeral Three" or words to that effect, and
likewise for much if not all of Unicode.

Thanks!

No.

I don't think so, but I haven't looked very closely.

The information you're looking for is in the Unicode Character Database
(http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UCD.html), which is easy to read and
parse (http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt). It's
trivial to write your own class for it.
