[🔗](https://github.com/elixir-unicode/unicode/blob/v1.21.1/lib/unicode/property/indic_syllabic_category.ex#L1)

Functions to introspect Unicode
indic syllabic categories for binaries
(Strings) and codepoints.

# `aliases`

Returns a map of aliases for
Unicode indic syllabic categorys.

An alias is an alternative name
for referring to a indic syllabic category. Aliases
are resolved by the `fetch/1` and
`get/1` functions.

# `count`

Returns the count of the number of characters
for a given indic syllabic category.

## Example

    iex> Unicode.IndicSyllabicCategory.count(:bindu)
    99

# `fetch`

Returns the Unicode ranges for
a given indic syllabic category as a list of
ranges as 2-tuples.

Aliases are resolved by this function.

Returns either `{:ok, range_list}` or
`:error`.

# `get`

Returns the Unicode ranges for
a given indic syllabic category as a list of
ranges as 2-tuples.

Aliases are resolved by this function.

Returns either `range_list` or
`nil`.

# `indic_syllabic_categories`

Returns the map of Unicode
indic syllabic categorys.

The indic syllabic category name is the map
key and a list of codepoint
ranges as tuples as the value.

# `indic_syllabic_category`

Returns the indic syllabic category name(s) for the
given binary or codepoint.

In the case of a codepoint, a single
indic syllabic category name is returned.

For a binary a list of distinct indic syllabic category
names represented by the lines in
the binary is returned.

# `known_indic_syllabic_categories`

Returns a list of known Unicode
indic syllabic category names.

This function does not return the
names of any indic syllabic category aliases.
