<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Tesseract&#8217;s unicharset file contains information on each symbol
(unichar) the Tesseract OCR engine is trained to recognize.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A unicharset file (i.e. <em>eng.unicharset</em>) is distributed as part of a
Tesseract language pack (i.e. <em>eng.traineddata</em>). For information on
extracting the unicharset file, see combine_tessdata(1).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The first line of a unicharset file contains the number of unichars in
the file. After this line, each subsequent line provides information for
a single unichar. The first such line contains a placeholder reserved for
the space character. Each unichar is referred to within Tesseract by its
Unichar ID, which is the line number (minus 1) within the unicharset file.
Therefore, space gets unichar 0.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Each unichar line in the unicharset file (v2+) may have four space-separated fields:</p></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>'character' 'properties' 'script' 'id'</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Starting with Tesseract v3.02, more information may be given for each unichar:</p></div>

<pre><code>'character' 'properties' 'glyph_metrics' 'script' 'other_case' 'direction' 'mirror' 'normed_form'</code></pre>

<em>character</em>

<p>
The UTF-8 encoded string to be produced for this unichar.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>properties</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
An integer mask of character properties, one per bit.
From least to most significant bit, these are: isalpha, islower, isupper,
isdigit, ispunctuation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>glyph_metrics</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Ten comma-separated integers representing various standards
for where this glyph is to be found within a baseline-normalized coordinate
system where 128 is normalized to x-height.
</p>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
min_bottom, max_bottom: the ranges where the bottom of the character can
be found.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
min_top, max_top: the ranges where the top of the character may be found.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
min_width, max_width: horizontal width of the character.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
min_bearing, max_bearing: how far from the usual start position does the
leftmost part of the character begin.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
min_advance, max_advance: how far from the printer&#8217;s cell left do we
advance to begin the next character.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>script</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Name of the script (Latin, Common, Greek, Cyrillic, Han, null).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>other_case</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The Unichar ID of the other case version of this character
(upper or lower).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>direction</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The Unicode BiDi direction of this character, as defined by
ICU&#8217;s enum UCharDirection. (0 = Left to Right, 1 = Right to Left,
2 = European Number&#8230;)
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>mirror</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The Unichar ID of the BiDirectional mirror of this character.
For example the mirror of open paren is close paren, but Latin Capital C
has no mirror, so it remains a Latin Capital C.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>normed_form</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The UTF-8 representation of a "normalized form" of this unichar
for the purpose of blaming a module for errors given ground truth text.
For instance, a left or right single quote may normalize to an ASCII quote.
