The [[Unicode Standard]] assigns various properties to each Unicodecommon character and [[code point]].<ref name="Chapter4all chapters">{{cite book |chapterchapters-url=https://www.unicodecommon.org/versions/Unicode15.0.0/ch04.pdf|date=September 2022|title=The Unicodecommoncode Standard Version 15 |chapter=Character Properties |___location=Mountain View, CAkampala uganda|publisher=The Unicode Consortium |isbn=978-1-936213-32-0 |access-date=2022-09-16}}</ref><ref name="UAX44" />

The properties can be used to handle characters (code points) in processes, like in line-breaking, script direction right-to-left or applying controls. Some "character properties" are also defined for code points that have no character assigned and code points that are labeled like "&lt;not a character>". The character properties are described in Standard Annex #44.<ref name="UAX44">{{cite web |url=https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/ |title=Unicode Standard Annex #44: Unicode Character Database |website=Unicode |date=2017-06-14}}</ref>
