Library: UTF-8 (OMUTF8) Import: omutf8.xmd

Declaration

utf8.char

You can use utf8.char as a pattern to match UTF-8 encoded characters in your input data.

The following program converts a UTF-8 encoded file to a long character encoding (2 bytes for every character):

  import "omutf8.xmd" prefixed by utf8.
  
  process
      submit file #main-input
  
  find utf8.char => char
      output "2f0b" % utf8.code-point of char
