UnicodeFilter
defines a protocol for selecting a subset of the full range (U+0000 to U+10FFFF) of Unicode characters.
Currently, filters are used in conjunction with classes like Transliterator to only process selected characters through a transformation.
Note: UnicodeFilter currently stubs out two pure virtual methods of its base class, UnicodeMatcher. These methods are toPattern() and matchesIndexValue(). This is done so that filter classes that are not actually used as matchers -- specifically, those in the UnicodeFilterLogic component, and those in tests -- can continue to work without defining these methods. As long as a filter is not used in an RBT during real transliteration, these methods will not be called. However, this breaks the UnicodeMatcher base class protocol, and it is not a correct solution.
In the future we may revisit the UnicodeMatcher / UnicodeFilter hierarchy and either redesign it, or simply remove the stubs in UnicodeFilter and force subclasses to implement the full UnicodeMatcher protocol.

virtual UnicodeFilter::~UnicodeFilter | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Returns true
for characters that are in the selected subset.
In other words, if a character is to be filtered, then contains()
returns false
.
