unicode-tricks

Based on the unicode package by Henning Thielemann.

This library aims to provide functionality to make working with certain blocks of unicode characters more effective.

Currently there are three modules:

• Data.Char.Block: rendering a 2-by-2 block by a matrix of Bools;
• Data.Char.Braille: a module to render Braille characters with six or eight dot cells;
• Data.Char.Chess: a module to render chess pieces (and some variants) in unicode;
• Data.Char.Frame: typesetting frame elements. Lines of the frames can be Light or Heavy, and there are additional options to use arcs for corners; and
• Data.Char.Small: making use of subscript and superscript in unicode, and for example formatting Ratio objects.

unicode-tricks is safe Haskell

The modules are marked with the {-# LANGUAGE Safe #-} pragma, it thus provides guarantees, for example about not using unsafePerformIO.
