NAME
       fribidi_get_joining_type - get character joining type

SYNOPSIS
       #include <../fribidi/lib/fribidi.h>

       FriBidiJoiningType fribidi_get_joining_type(FriBidiChar ch);

PARAMETERS
       FriBidiChar ch
              Input character.

DESCRIPTION
       This function returns the joining type of a character as defined in
       Table 8-2 Primary Arabic Joining Classes of the Unicode standard
       available at
       http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch08.pdf#G7462, using data

       http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeData.txt.

       There are a few macros defined in fribidi-joining-types.h for querying
       a joining type.
