Library: UTF-8 (OMUTF8)
Import: omutf8.xmd |
Return type: Integer
Returns: An |
export integer function code-point of value string utf8-string overlong-handling value error-handling-type overlong-handling optional elsewhere
The function utf8.code-point
converts a string
containing a single UTF-8 character to the
character number it encodes.
If the string
does not consist of a single UTF-8 encoded character, the character number of the
Unicode Replacement Character (U-FFFD) is returned instead. By default, overlong values for UTF8 encodings will return U-FFFD. If the argument overlong-handling is specified as not-allowed-with-throw
, overlong sequences will trigger a throw to utf8.overlong-sequence
. If overlong-handling
is allowed
, utf8.code-point
will convert an overlong value to a value which might not be valid Unicode.
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 #main-input find utf8.char => char output "2f0b" % utf8.code-point of char
