You ask an API to tell you. In Java, you use the Character class. In C++, you can use ICU. If your language doesn’t have this, you download the properties database from unicode.org and incorporate it.
In other words, there is no pattern or algorithm. There are tables published by the Unicode consortium that contain the information.
