About:
Libuninameslist is a C library that provides access to the complete Unicode Character Database (UCD) names and annotations. It offers a lightweight, efficient interface for retrieving official Unicode character names and cross-references. This library is particularly useful for applications requiring detailed Unicode metadata without the overhead of larger frameworks.

Key Features:

Provides access to official Unicode character names and annotations
Lightweight C library with minimal dependencies
Efficient lookup functions for Unicode metadata
Supports cross-references between Unicode blocks and characters

Use Cases:

Font development tools needing Unicode character information
Text editors and viewers for displaying character details
Unicode analysis and debugging utilities
Internationalization (i18n) software development

Alternatives:

libicu – Much larger and more comprehensive but heavier dependency
Unicode UCD directly – Raw text files require parsing; libuninameslist provides pre-processed access
