Print the character names [closed]

Question

Every Unicode character has a name, like "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A". A Unicode character name may contain only uppercase letters, white spaces, and the minus sign.

Write a program that reads a text and outputs the names of each character on a new line. For example, if the input were "Hello, World!", the output would be

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H
LATIN SMALL LETTER E
LATIN SMALL LETTER L
LATIN SMALL LETTER L
LATIN SMALL LETTER O
COMMA
SPACE
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W
LATIN SMALL LETTER O
LATIN SMALL LETTER R
LATIN SMALL LETTER L
LATIN SMALL LETTER D
EXCLAMATION MARK

• Input should come from a file or from user input, not just a string in code.
• Output should be written to a file or stdout or printed to the screen.
• Internet and external libraries are not allowed, all necessary data should be in the code.
• Assume that the input only contains printable ASCII characters in the Basic Latin code range 32-126. You can ignore a trailing newline.
• All programming languages allowed. Shortest code in bytes wins.

The official Unicode character names can be found here. Other sources:

• http://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_utf_basic_latin.asp
• http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~tomw/java/unicode.html#x0000

This is my first question so I'd appreciate any suggestion if this can be improved.

For the purpose of this challenge the list below shall be normative.

Answer 1

Java - 113 bytes (152 if read from command line)

Edit: removed useless curly brackets.

Edit2: removed unnecessary variable.

Edit3: Instead of Character.getName() I use c.getName().

Edit4: Passing string as command line argument.

With command line argument (113 bytes):

class Z{public static void main(String[]x){for(Character c:x[0].toCharArray())System.out.println(c.getName(c));}}

With read line (152 bytes):

class Z{public static void main(String[]x){for(Character c:new java.util.Scanner(System.in).nextLine().toCharArray())System.out.println(c.getName(c));}}

Java has everything needed. I'm sure this could be golfed down.

Answer 2

Python 3, 56 bytes

Uses a built-in function unicodedata.name(), so this may be non-competent. The Java answer did it similarly, so I thought it was at least worth posting.

from unicodedata import*
for i in input():print(name(i))

Answer 3

JavaScript (ES6) 594 618 626

Note I could save ~30 bytes compressing the long string with atob/btoa, but the utf8 character above '~' are not well accepted by the Stack Exchange post editor. I prefer to keep a running snippet instead.

Edit 8 chars saved thx @Ypnypn

Obvious compression of repeated words. The newline inside backticks is significant and counted.

Test running the snippet in Firefox.

// TEST SUITE
// for testing purpose, redefine alert() to write inside the snippet body
alert=x=>O.innerHTML=x
// for testing purpose, redefine prompt() to have a default text containing all characters
_prompt=prompt
prompt=(i,s)=>{
  for(s='',i=32;i<127;i++)s+=String.fromCharCode(i);
  return _prompt("Insert your message or keep the default",s);
}  
  
// That's the answer code:
z='SPACE/EXCLAMA0QUOTA0NUMBER1DOLLAR1PERCENT1AMPERSAND/APOSTROPHE3242ASTERISK/PLUS1COMMA/HYPHEN-MINUS/FULL STOP/78ZERO8ONE8TWO8THREE8FOUR8FIVE8SIX8SEVEN8EIGHT8NINE86SEMI6LESS-THAN1EQUALS1GREATER-THAN1QUES0COMMERCIAL AT3SQUARE5REVERSE 7/4SQUARE5CIRCUMFLEX9/LOW LINE/GRAVE93CURLY5VERTICAL LINE/4CURLY5TILDE'.replace(/\d/g,c=>'TION MARK/, SIGN/,PARENTHESIS/,/LEFT ,RIGHT , BRACKET/,COLON/,SOLIDUS,/DIGIT , ACCENT'.split`,`[c]).split`/`,alert([...prompt()].map(c=>(q=c.charCodeAt()-32)<33?z[q]:q<59?'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER '+c:q<65?z[q-26]:q<91?'LATIN SMALL LETTER '+c.toUpperCase():z[q-52]).join`

Answer 4

R, 54 bytes 62

library(Unicode)
cat(u_char_name(utf8ToInt(scan(,""))),sep="\n")

Edit: per @flodels comment, I need to read it from connection first, so had to add scan. This is also probably non-competent solution according to all the rules.

Usage

> cat(u_char_name(utf8ToInt(scan(,""))),sep="\n")
1: 'Hello, World!'
2: 
Read 1 item
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H
LATIN SMALL LETTER E
LATIN SMALL LETTER L
LATIN SMALL LETTER L
LATIN SMALL LETTER O
COMMA
SPACE
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER W
LATIN SMALL LETTER O
LATIN SMALL LETTER R
LATIN SMALL LETTER L
LATIN SMALL LETTER D
EXCLAMATION MARK

You can also wrap it up into a function for more convenient usage

UNI <- function(x)cat(paste0(u_char_name(utf8ToInt(x)),"\n"))

Then, the usage is just

UNI("Hello, World!")

Answer 5

C, 644 656

Full program, reading from standard input

Test on Ideone

This is a porting of my JavaScript answer to C. The C language is good at manipulating single characters as numbers (no need of .toUpperCase and the like), but it's weaker in string manipulation.

char*s,*p,*q,b[999],*d=b+99,c,*l[129];
main(k){for(k=32,p="/SPACE/EXCLAMAaQUOTAaNUMBERbDOLLARbPERCENTbAMPERSAND/APOSTROPHEdcecASTERISK/PLUSbCOMMA/HYPHEN-MINUS/FULL STOP/hiZEROiONEiTWOiTHREEiFOURiFIVEiSIXiSEVENiEIGHTiNINE/gSEMIgLESSnbEQUALSbGREATERnbQUESaCOMMERCIAL ATdkfREVERSE h/ekfCIRCUMFLEXj/LOWmGRAVEjdlfVERTICALmelfTILDE/";

for(;~(k=getchar());puts(k<65?l[k]:(k&31)<27?b:l[k<97?k-26:k-52]))sprintf(b,"LATIN %s LETTER %c",k<91?"CAPITAL":"SMALL",k&95);}

    *l[129]; // characters descriptions (used 32 to 126)

    // Uncompress the descriptions of all char except letters
    for(k = 32, p = all; c = *p; ++p)

I did not see a rule specifically against using a built-in method for getting the unicode names.
(Also the Java answer which is the currently highest voted one does the same)

Explanation

Pretty straight-forward, @d is constructed from Zlib compressed data (stored after __END__), which is just the compressed list of raw comma separated character names that is inflated, split on , and can be indexed via ord - 32. -00 sets the input record separator to \x00 (NUL) which slurps the __DATA__ in one call to <DATA> instead of having it split on newline. @F is initialised with the input data as an array (via -F), which is iterated over and the corresponding index from @d is output.

Common Lisp (SBCL), 52 79

(map()(lambda(y)(format t"~:@(~A~)~%"(substitute #\  #\_(char-name y))))(read))

This is built-in and implementation-dependent, so you may want to ignore it when choosing the accepted answer. This is not enough to beat Python, unfortunately. The updated version conforms to the expected output (I have to replace underscores by spaces).

Example

CL-USER> (map()(lambda(y)(format t"~:@(~A~)~%"(substitute #\  #\_(char-name y))))(read))
"(λ(r)(* 2 ᴨ r))"

Uses same builtin as mbomb007's python answer. Note that this cannot be executed online because the $ operator is unsafe.

I have tried different solutions but simply storing all the names in a huge array seems most efficient.

Live version.

With some whitespace:

#include <iostream>

// a is compressed using an LZ like compression scheme
char *q, x, b[584],
    *t = b,
    a[] =
        R"(space}exclamation|mark}quot"-number|sign}dolla!apercent!mam"%sand}apostrophe}left|par%3hesis}righ"Wasterisk}plus*<comma}hy)#n{minus}full|stop}solid"Ldigit|zero!Tone!Gtw"kthre#&four!Uiv#&six!Heve>^!_e6r!ani,1colon}semi!Fless{than8Eequal:$grea<s$2quesMj>EJoial|at}lQ9n|capit"?let('|Jes+\re|bracket}r5urse|C5M?%2circumflex|acXR}low|l:bgrave#'0=smaNy0+curly*s/Ytic4z)$/\$itilde)",
    *s = a;

int c, z, l = '{';

int main() {
    // Decompress from a into b
    for (; x = *s++;)
        if (z = x - 32, x > 96)
            *t++ = x < l ? z : "- "[x % l];
        else
            for (c = z * 95 + *s++ - 32, q = t - c / 13, x = 3 + c % 13; x--;) *t++ = *q++;

    // Process input a char at a time, performing a lookup into b for the c'th null separated string
    while (std::cin.get(x)) {
        for (s = b, z = 0,
            c = x < 65 ? x - 32 : x < 91 ? z = 33 : x < 97 ? x - 57 : x < l ? z = 40 : x - 82;
             c--;)
            while (*s++)
                ;
        auto& o = std::cout << s;
        (z ? o.put(x & ~32) : o) << "\n";
    }
}

The compressed string a decompresses to:

space}exclamation|mark}quotation|mark}number|sign}dollar|sign}percent|sign}ampersand}apostrophe}left|parenthesis}right|parenthesis}asterisk}plus|sign}comma}hyphen{minus}full|stop}solidus}digit|zero}digit|one}digit|two}digit|three}digit|four}digit|five}digit|six}digit|seven}digit|eight}digit|nine}colon}semicolon}less{than|sign}equals|sign}greater{than|sign}question|mark}commercial|at}latin|capital|letter|}left|square|bracket}reverse|solidus}right|square|bracket}circumflex|accent}low|line}grave|accent}latin|small|letter|}left|curly|bracket}vertical|line}right|curly|bracket}tilde

And during decompression } is replaced with \0, | with (space) and { with - and lowercase letters are converted to uppercase.

The string is compressed LZ style as either a literal [a-~] or a two character encoded offset/length to a match earlier in the string.
