Kannada is a Unicode block containing characters for the Kannada and Tulu languages. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0C82..U+0CCD were a direct copy of the Kannada characters A2-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard. The Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam blocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.
In Unicode, a block is defined as one contiguous range of code points. Blocks are named uniquely and have no overlap. They have a starting code point of the form nnn0 and an ending code point of the form nnnF. A block explicitly can include code points that are unassigned and non-characters. Code points not belonging to any of the named blocks, e.g. in the unassigned planes 3–13, have the value block="No_block".
Conversely, every assigned code point has a property "Block name", which names in which block the character is. This is determined by the code point only, although a block name will have a descriptive nature: "Tibetan" or "Supplemental Arrows-A". All assigned code points have a single block name.
Subdivisions, such as "Chess symbols" in the block Miscellaneous symbols, are not a "block". The subgroup name is an informative editorial addition only.
The number of code points in a Unicode block is a multiple of 16. Unicode blocks range in size from the minimum of 16 to a maximum of 65,536 code points.
A block of the periodic table of elements is a set of adjacent groups. The term appears to have been first used by Charles Janet. The respective highest-energy electrons in each element in a block belong to the same atomic orbital type. Each block is named after its characteristic orbital; thus, the blocks are:
The block names (s, p, d, f and g) are derived from the spectroscopic notation for the associated atomic orbitals: sharp, principal, diffuse and fundamental, and then g which follows f in the alphabet.
The following is the order for filling the "subshell" orbitals, according to the Aufbau principle, which also gives the linear order of the "blocks" (as atomic number increases) in the periodic table:
For discussion of the nature of why the energies of the blocks naturally appear in this order in complex atoms, see atomic orbital and electron configuration.
The "periodic" nature of the filling of orbitals, as well as emergence of the s, p, d and f "blocks" is more obvious, if this order of filling is given in matrix form, with increasing principal quantum numbers starting the new rows ("periods") in the matrix. Then, each subshell (composed of the first two quantum numbers) is repeated as many times as required for each pair of electrons it may contain. The result is a compressed periodic table, with each entry representing two successive elements:
Prior to working on The Elder Scrolls series, Bethesda had worked predominantly with sports and action games. In the six years from its founding to Arena's 1994 release, Bethesda had released ten games, six of them sports games, with such titles as Hockey League Simulator, NCAA Basketball: Road to the Final Four ('91/'92 Edition), and Wayne Gretzky Hockey, and the remaining four adaptations from other media, primarily the Terminator series. Bethesda's
course changed abruptly when it began its first action role-playing venture. Designer Ted Peterson recalls: "I remember talking to the guys at Sir-Tech who were doing Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant at the time, and them literally laughing at us for thinking we could do it." Ted Peterson worked alongside Vijay Lakshman as one of the initial designers of what was then simply Arena, a "medieval-style gladiator game."
Block is an Australian term for a small agricultural landholding. Block settlement has been used by Governments to encourage decentralization and during financial depressions to give families of unemployed workers an opportunity (frequently illusory) to become primary producers. It may also refer to a lifestyle choice or "hobby farm" for those with an independent source of income.
In parts of Australia, parcels of land of around 6 to 20 acres (2 to 8ha) were allocated by Government to working-class men at nominal rent during the depression of the 1890s with the object of giving them work and, potentially, a source of income. Some eventually prospered, but those on marginal land were doomed to failure. Proponents of the "block system" included George Witherage Cotton. Holders of such allotments were referred to as "blockers" or "blockies".
Macron below, U+0331◌̱COMBINING MACRON BELOW (HTMḺ), is a combining diacritical mark used in various orthographies.
It is not to be confused with "combining minus below" ̠ (U+0320), "combining low line" ̲̲ (U+0332) and "low line" ("underscore") _ ). The difference between "macron below" and "low line" is that the latter will result in an unbroken underline when run together, compare a̱ḇc̱ vs. a̲b̲c̲ (of which only the latter should look like abc).
Note that the Unicode names of composed characters whose decompositions contain this character misleadingly have "line below" rather than "macron below". Thus, ḇ "Latin small letter b with line below" decomposes to "Latin small letter b" and "combining macron below".
Ḇ (minuscule: ḇ) is used, for example, in the transliteration of Biblical Hebrew into the Roman alphabet to show the fricative value of the letter beth (ב). representing [v], or perhaps [β]. In Unicode the capital Ḇ is codepoint U+1E06 (7686) and the lower case ḇ is U+1E07 (7687).

Your Keyboard Cannot Comprehend These Noodles
How did it take 50 years to be able to type this character: 𰻞𰻞麵 Biang Biang Noodles are one of the staples of Shaanxi in central China. They are world famous for their name, written in 58 strokes, being one of the most complex Chinese characters. But computers weren't always up to the task of typing Chinese. In the early encoding schemes of China, Japan, and Korea only a few thousand characters were supported. While this was enough for daily communication, it wouldn't be until Unicode and the process of Han Unification that these separate character encodings would become compatible.
Today's Unicode supports 149,813 characters in several different Unicode blocks and spanning several planes. The Biang character, both the traditional and simplified version were added to Unicode 13.0 in 2020 ...

let's put it all together in a complete python example:
when you run this code with the character 'a', it will output:
you can use this method to find the unicode block of any character, including non-latin characters, symbols, and emojis.
to handle characters that span multiple code points (e.g., emojis), you can loop through the code points and find the block for each code point separately.
the unicodedata module also provides other functions to retrieve information about unicode characters, such as their category, numeric values, and more. explore the module's documentation for more details.
that's it! you've learned how to find the unicode block of a character in python using the unicodedata module. this can be useful for tasks involving text processing and character analysis in various languages and scripts.

Kannada is a Unicode block containing characters for the Kannada and Tulu languages. In its original incarnation, the code points U+0C82..U+0CCD were a direct copy of the Kannada characters A2-ED from the 1988 ISCII standard. The Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam blocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.
