How to find unicode character class in PHP

I am having hard times finding a way to get the unicode class of a char.

list of unicode classes: https://www.php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.unicode.php

The desired function in python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/unicodedata.html#unicodedata.category

I just want the PHP equivalent to this python function.

For example, if I called the x function like this: x('-') it would return Pd because Pd is the class hyphen belongs to.

Thanks.
