The functions in this section are used to identify the writing system, or script of individual characters and of ranges within a larger text string.

PangoScriptIter: A PangoScriptIter is used to iterate through a string and identify ranges in different scripts.
PangoLanguage: The PangoLanguage structure is used to represent a language. PangoLanguage pointers can be efficiently copied and compared with each other.

PangoScript

The PangoScript enumeration identifies different writing systems. The values correspond to the names as defined in the Unicode standard. Note that new types may be added in the future. Applications should be ready to handle unknown values. This enumeration is interchangeable with GUnicodeScript. See Unicode Standard Annex #24: Script names (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24/).
