It's part of the Unicode Consortium's database (UCD, Unicode Character
Database). This specific table is called "code blocks":

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

Python currently has this table not compiled in, but it should be
trivial to compile this into a pure-Python table (either as a
dictionary, or a list of triples).
