	<value>The <b>codepointProperty </b>returns the value of the UCD property for the specified Unicode codepoint.</value>
	<comments>The Unicode standard and the associated Unicode Character Database (UCD) define a series of properties for each codepoint in the Unicode standard. A number of these properties are used internally by the engine during text processing but it is also possible to query these properties directly using this function.<p></p><p>There are many properties available; please see the version 6.3.0 of the Unicode standard, Chapter 4 and Section 5 of Unicode Technical Report (TR)#44 for details on the names and values of properties. Property names may be specified with either spaces or underscores and are not case-sensitive.</p><p></p><p><note> This function is not intended for general-purpose use; please use functions such as <function tag="toUpper">toUpper</function> or the is operators instead.</note></comments>
