public class UnicodeSet
extends UnicodeFilter
implements Iterable<String>, Comparable<UnicodeSet>, Freezable<UnicodeSet>

A mutable set of Unicode characters and multicharacter strings. Objects of this class represent character classes used in regular expressions. A character specifies a subset of Unicode code points. Legal code points are U+0000 to U+10FFFF, inclusive. Note: method freeze() will not only make the set immutable, but also makes important methods much higher performance: contains(c), containsNone(...), span(...), spanBack(...) etc. After the object is frozen, any subsequent call that wants to change the object will throw UnsupportedOperationException.

The UnicodeSet class is not designed to be subclassed.

UnicodeSet supports two APIs. The first is the operand API that allows the caller to modify the value of a UnicodeSet object. It conforms to Java 2's java.util.Set interface, although UnicodeSet does not actually implement that interface. All methods of Set are supported, with the modification that they take a character range or single character instead of an Object, and they take a UnicodeSet instead of a Collection. The operand API may be thought of in terms of boolean logic: a boolean OR is implemented by add, a boolean AND is implemented by retain, a boolean XOR is implemented by complement taking an argument, and a boolean NOT is implemented by complement with no argument. In terms of traditional set theory function names, add is a union, retain is an intersection, remove is an asymmetric difference, and complement with no argument is a set complement with respect to the superset range MIN_VALUE-MAX_VALUE

The second API is the applyPattern()/toPattern() API from the java.text.Format-derived classes. Unlike the methods that add characters, add categories, and control the logic of the set, the method applyPattern() sets all attributes of a UnicodeSet at once, based on a string pattern.

Pattern syntax

Patterns are accepted by the constructors and the applyPattern() methods and returned by the toPattern() method. These patterns follow a syntax similar to that employed by version 8 regular expression character classes. Here are some simple examples:

[] No characters
[a] The character 'a'
[ae] The characters 'a' and 'e'

[a-e] The characters 'a' through 'e' inclusive, in Unicode code point order

[\\u4E01] The character U+4E01

[a{ab}{ac}] The character 'a' and the multicharacter strings "ab" and "ac"

[\p{Lu}] All characters in the general category Uppercase Letter

Any character may be preceded by a backslash in order to remove any special meaning. White space characters, as defined by the Unicode Pattern_White_Space property, are ignored, unless they are escaped.

Property patterns specify a set of characters having a certain property as defined by the Unicode standard. Both the POSIX-like "[:Lu:]" and the Perl-like syntax "\p{Lu}" are recognized. For a complete list of supported property patterns, see the User's Guide for UnicodeSet at https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/strings/unicodeset. Actual determination of property data is defined by the underlying Unicode database as implemented by UCharacter.

Patterns specify individual characters, ranges of characters, and Unicode property sets. When elements are concatenated, they specify their union. To complement a set, place a '^' immediately after the opening '['. Property patterns are inverted by modifying their delimiters; "[:^foo]" and "\P{foo}". In any other location, '^' has no special meaning.

Since ICU 70, "[^...]", "[:^foo]", "\P{foo}", and "[:binaryProperty=No:]" perform a “code point complement” (all code points minus the original set), removing all multicharacter strings, equivalent to .complement().removeAllStrings() . The complement() API function continues to perform a symmetric difference with all code points and thus retains all multicharacter strings.

Ranges are indicated by placing two a '-' between two characters, as in "a-z". This specifies the range of all characters from the left to the right, in Unicode order. If the left character is greater than or equal to the right character it is a syntax error. If a '-' occurs as the first character after the opening '[' or '[^', or if it occurs as the last character before the closing ']', then it is taken as a literal. Thus "[a\\-b]", "[-ab]", and "[ab-]" all indicate the same set of three characters, 'a', 'b', and '-'.

Sets may be intersected using the '&' operator or the asymmetric set difference may be taken using the '-' operator, for example, "[[:L:]&[\\u0000-\\u0FFF]]" indicates the set of all Unicode letters with values less than 4096. Operators ('&' and '|') have equal precedence and bind left-to-right. Thus "[[:L:]-[a-z]-[\\u0100-\\u01FF]]" is equivalent to "[[[:L:]-[a-z]]-[\\u0100-\\u01FF]]". This only really matters for difference; intersection is commutative.

`[a]`	The set containing 'a'
`[a-z]`	The set containing 'a' through 'z' and all letters in between, in Unicode order
`[^a-z]`	The set containing all characters but 'a' through 'z', that is, U+0000 through 'a'-1 and 'z'+1 through U+10FFFF
`[[pat1][pat2]]`	The union of sets specified by pat1 and pat2
`[[pat1]&[pat2]]`	The intersection of sets specified by pat1 and pat2
`[[pat1]-[pat2]]`	The asymmetric difference of sets specified by pat1 and pat2
`[:Lu:] or \p{Lu}`	The set of characters having the specified Unicode property; in this case, Unicode uppercase letters
`[:^Lu:] or \P{Lu}`	The set of characters not having the given Unicode property

Formal syntax

pattern := ('[' '^'? item* ']') | property

item := char | (char '-' char) | pattern-expr

pattern-expr := pattern | pattern-expr pattern | pattern-expr op pattern

op := '&' | '-'

special := '[' | ']' | '-'

char := any character that is notspecial | ('\\'any character) | ('\u' hex hex hex hex)

hex := '0' | '1' | '2' | '3' | '4' | '5' | '6' | '7' | '8' | '9' | 'A' | 'B' | 'C' | 'D' | 'E' | 'F' | 'a' | 'b' | 'c' | 'd' | 'e' | 'f'

property := a Unicode property set pattern

Legend:

a := b a may be replaced by b

a? zero or one instance of a

a* one or more instances of a

a | b either a or b

'a' the literal string between the quotes

To iterate over contents of UnicodeSet, the following are available:

to iterate over the ranges: ranges(), rangeStream()
to iterate over the strings: strings(), stringStream()
to iterate over the code points: codePoints(), codePointStream()
to iterate over the entire contents in a single loop: this class itself is Iterable, or use stream().
All of these method are, however, not particularly efficient, since they convert each individual code point to a String.

The iterators and streams methods work as expected in idiomatic Java usage.
The UnicodeSetIterator cannot be used in for loops, and it is not very Java-idiomatic, because it is old. But it might be faster in certain use cases. We recommend that you measure in performance sensitive code.

To replace, count elements, or delete spans, see UnicodeSetSpanner.

    Constant Field Values
  - CASE_INSENSITIVE
```
public static final int CASE_INSENSITIVE
```
    Enable case insensitive matching. E.g., "[ab]" with this flag will match 'a', 'A', 'b', and 'B'. "[^ab]" with this flag will match all except 'a', 'A', 'b', and 'B'. This performs a full closure over case mappings, e.g. 'ſ' (U+017F long s) for 's'.
    This value is an options bit set value for some constructors, applyPattern(), and closeOver(). It can be ORed together with other, unrelated options.
    The resulting set is a superset of the input for the code points but not for the strings. It performs a case mapping closure of the code points and adds full case folding strings for the code points, and reduces strings of the original set to their full case folding equivalents.
    This is designed for case-insensitive matches, for example in regular expressions. The full code point case closure allows checking of an input character directly against the closure set. Strings are matched by comparing the case-folded form from the closure set with an incremental case folding of the string in question.
    The closure set will also contain single code points if the original set contained case-equivalent strings (like U+00DF for "ss" or "Ss" etc.). This is not necessary (that is, redundant) for the above matching method but results in the same closure sets regardless of whether the original set contained the code point or a string.

public static final int ADD_CASE_MAPPINGS
```
    Adds all case mappings for each element in the set. This adds the full lower-, title-, and uppercase mappings as well as the full case folding of each existing element in the set.
    This value is an options bit set value for some constructors, applyPattern(), and closeOver(). It can be ORed together with other, unrelated options.
    Unlike the “case insensitive” options, this does not perform a closure. For example, it does not add 'ſ' (U+017F long s) for 's', 'K' (U+212A Kelvin sign) for 'k', or replace set strings by their case-folded versions.

  - SIMPLE_CASE_INSENSITIVE
```
public static final int SIMPLE_CASE_INSENSITIVE
```
    Enable case insensitive matching. Same as CASE_INSENSITIVE but using only Simple_Case_Folding (scf) mappings, which map each code point to one code point, not full Case_Folding (cf) mappings, which map some code points to multiple code points.
    This is designed for case-insensitive matches, for example in certain regular expression implementations where only Simple_Case_Folding mappings are used, such as in ECMAScript (JavaScript) regular expressions.
    This value is an options bit set value for some constructors, applyPattern(), and closeOver(). It can be ORed together with other, unrelated options.

    Parameters:
    
    text - the text to be matched
    
    offset - on input, the index into text at which to begin matching. On output, the limit of the matched text. The number of matched characters is the output value of offset minus the input value. Offset should always point to the HIGH SURROGATE (leading code unit) of a pair of surrogates, both on entry and upon return.
    
    limit - the limit index of text to be matched. Greater than offset for a forward direction match, less than offset for a backward direction match. The last character to be considered for matching will be text.charAt(limit-1) in the forward direction or text.charAt(limit+1) in the backward direction.
    
    incremental - if true, then assume further characters may be inserted at limit and check for partial matching. Otherwise assume the text as given is complete.
    
    Returns:
    
    a match degree value indicating a full match, a partial match, or a mismatch. If incremental is false then U_PARTIAL_MATCH should never be returned.

```
    Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.
    
    Parses the given pattern, starting at the given position. The character at pattern.charAt(pos.getIndex()) must be '[', or the parse fails. Parsing continues until the corresponding closing ']'. If a syntax error is encountered between the opening and closing brace, the parse fails. Upon return from a successful parse, the ParsePosition is updated to point to the character following the closing ']', and an inversion list for the parsed pattern is returned. This method calls itself recursively to parse embedded subpatterns.
    
    Parameters:
    
    pattern - the string containing the pattern to be parsed. The portion of the string from pos.getIndex(), which must be a '[', to the corresponding closing ']', is parsed.
    
    pos - upon entry, the position at which to being parsing. The character at pattern.charAt(pos.getIndex()) must be a '['. Upon return from a successful parse, pos.getIndex() is either the character after the closing ']' of the parsed pattern, or pattern.length() if the closing ']' is the last character of the pattern string.
    
    Returns:
    
    an inversion list for the parsed substring of pattern
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the parse fails.

    Parameters:
    
    propertyAlias - a property alias, either short or long. The name is matched loosely. See PropertyAliases.txt for names and a description of loose matching. If the value string is empty, then this string is interpreted as either a General_Category value alias, a Script value alias, a binary property alias, or a special ID. Special IDs are matched loosely and correspond to the following sets: "ANY" = [\\u0000-\\U0010FFFF], "ASCII" = [\\u0000-\\u007F].
    
    valueAlias - a value alias, either short or long. The name is matched loosely. See PropertyValueAliases.txt for names and a description of loose matching. In addition to aliases listed, numeric values and canonical combining classes may be expressed numerically, e.g., ("nv", "0.5") or ("ccc", "220"). The value string may also be empty.

  - closeOver
```
public UnicodeSet closeOver(int attribute)
```
    Close this set over the given attribute. For the attribute CASE_INSENSITIVE, the result is to modify this set so that:
    1. For each character or string 'a' in this set, all strings 'b' such that foldCase(a) == foldCase(b) are added to this set. (For most 'a' that are single characters, 'b' will have b.length() == 1.)
    2. For each string 'e' in the resulting set, if e != foldCase(e), 'e' will be removed.
    Example: [aqß{Bc}{bC}{Fi}] => [aAqQßﬁ{ss}{bc}{fi}]
    (Here foldCase(x) refers to the operation UCharacter.foldCase(x, true), and a == b actually denotes a.equals(b), not pointer comparison.)
    Parameters:
    
    attribute - bitmask for attributes to close over. Valid options: At most one of CASE_INSENSITIVE, ADD_CASE_MAPPINGS, SIMPLE_CASE_INSENSITIVE. These case options are mutually exclusive. Unrelated options bits are ignored.

  - getSingleCodePoint
```
@Deprecated
public static int getSingleCodePoint(CharSequence s)
```
    Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.
    
    Return the value of the first code point, if the string is exactly one code point. Otherwise return Integer.MAX_VALUE.
    
    Status:
    Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
  - addBridges
```
@Deprecated
public UnicodeSet addBridges(UnicodeSet dontCare)
```
    Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.
    
    Simplify the ranges in a Unicode set by merging any ranges that are only separated by characters in the dontCare set. For example, the ranges: \\u2E80-\\u2E99\\u2E9B-\\u2EF3\\u2F00-\\u2FD5\\u2FF0-\\u2FFB\\u3000-\\u303E change to \\u2E80-\\u303E if the dontCare set includes unassigned characters (for a particular version of Unicode).
    
    Parameters:
    
    dontCare - Set with the don't-care characters for spanning
    
    Returns:
    
    the input set, modified
    
    Status:
    Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
  - findIn
```
@Deprecated
public int findIn(CharSequence value,
                              int fromIndex,
                              boolean findNot)
```
    Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only. Use span instead.
    
    Find the first index at or after fromIndex where the UnicodeSet matches at that index. If findNot is true, then reverse the sense of the match: find the first place where the UnicodeSet doesn't match. If there is no match, length is returned.
    
    Status:
    Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
  - findLastIn
```
@Deprecated
public int findLastIn(CharSequence value,
                                  int fromIndex,
                                  boolean findNot)
```
    Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only. Use spanBack instead.
    
    Find the last index before fromIndex where the UnicodeSet matches at that index. If findNot is true, then reverse the sense of the match: find the last place where the UnicodeSet doesn't match. If there is no match, -1 is returned. BEFORE index is not in the UnicodeSet.
    
    Status:
    Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
  - stripFrom
```
@Deprecated
public String stripFrom(CharSequence source,
                                    boolean matches)
```
    Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only. Use replaceFrom.
    
    Strips code points from source. If matches is true, script all that match this. If matches is false, then strip all that don't match.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - The source of the CharSequence to strip from.
    
    matches - A boolean to either strip all that matches or don't match with the current UnicodeSet object.
    
    Returns:
    
    The string after it has been stripped.
    
    Status:
    Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
  - getDefaultXSymbolTable
```
@Deprecated
public static UnicodeSet.XSymbolTable getDefaultXSymbolTable()
```
    Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.
    
    Get the default symbol table. Null means ordinary processing. For internal use only.
    
    Returns:
    
    the symbol table
    
    Status:
    Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
  - setDefaultXSymbolTable
```
@Deprecated
public static void setDefaultXSymbolTable(UnicodeSet.XSymbolTable xSymbolTable)
```
    Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.
    
    Set the default symbol table. Null means ordinary processing. For internal use only. Will affect all subsequent parsing of UnicodeSets.
    WARNING: If this function is used with a UnicodeProperty, and the Unassigned characters (gc=Cn) are different than in ICU, you MUST call UnicodeProperty.ResetCacheProperties afterwards. If you then call UnicodeSet.setDefaultXSymbolTable with null to clear the value, you MUST also call UnicodeProperty.ResetCacheProperties.
    
    Parameters:
    
    xSymbolTable - the new default symbol table.
    
    Status:
    Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
  - rangeStream
```
public Stream<UnicodeSet.EntryRange> rangeStream()
```
    Returns a Stream of UnicodeSet.EntryRange values from this UnicodeSet.
    Warnings:
    - The UnicodeSet.EntryRange instance is the same each time; the contents are just reset.
    - To iterate over the full contents, you have to also iterate over the strings.
    - For speed, UnicodeSet iteration does not check for concurrent modification.
      Do not alter the UnicodeSet while iterating.
    Returns:
    
    a Stream of UnicodeSet.EntryRange
    
    Status:
    Draft ICU 76.
  - stringStream
```
public Stream<String> stringStream()
```
    Returns a Stream of String values from this UnicodeSet.
    Warnings:
    - To iterate over the full contents, you have to also iterate over the ranges or code points.
    - For speed, UnicodeSet iteration does not check for concurrent modification.
      Do not alter the UnicodeSet while iterating.
    Returns:
    
    a Stream of String
    
    Status:
    Draft ICU 76.
  - codePointStream
```
public IntStream codePointStream()
```
    Returns an IntStream of Unicode code point values from this UnicodeSet.
    Warnings:
    - To iterate over the full contents, you have to also iterate over the strings.
    - For speed, UnicodeSet iteration does not check for concurrent modification.
      Do not alter the UnicodeSet while iterating.
    Returns:
    
    an IntStream of Unicode code point values
    
    Status:
    Draft ICU 76.
  - stream
```
public Stream<String> stream()
```
    Returns a stream of String values from this UnicodeSet.
    Warnings:
    - To iterate over the full contents, you have to also iterate over the strings.
    - For speed, UnicodeSet iteration does not check for concurrent modification.
      Do not alter the UnicodeSet while iterating.
    Returns:
    
    a Stream of String
    
    Status:
    Draft ICU 76.
  - codePoints
```
public Iterable<Integer> codePoints()
```
    Returns an Iterable for iteration over all the code points in this set.
    Warnings:
    - This is a convenience method, but comes with a performance penalty because it boxes int into Integer.
      For an efficient but old alternative use UnicodeSetIterator.next().
    - To iterate over the full contents, you have to also iterate over the strings.
    - For speed, UnicodeSet iteration does not check for concurrent modification.
      Do not alter the UnicodeSet while iterating.
    Returns:
    
    an Iterable over all the code points
    
    Status:
    Draft ICU 76.
