RE: How to determine Script from given Unicode text?

[Gaurav Jain <gaurav_anywhere yahoo com>]

Hi John,

Sorry about the mis-statement. In my case I have a
unicode character, and I need to find out what script
it belongs to.  Is it possible to determine this using
a single Unicode character?

Thanks,
Gaurav
