cf_decode_UTF16¶
Category: string
GitHub: cute_string.h
Decodes a single UTF16 character from the string as a UTF32 codepoint.
| Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| s | The string. Can be NULL. |
| codepoint | An int codepoint in UTF32 form. |
Return Value¶
The return value is not a new string, but just s + count, where count is anywhere from 1 to 2.
Remarks¶
You can use this function in a loop to decode one codepoint at a time, where each codepoint represents a single UTF8 character.
int cp;
const uint16_t tmp = my_string;
while (tmp) {
tmp = cf_decode_UTF16(tmp, &cp);
DoSomethingWithCodepoint(cp);
}
You can convert a UTF16 string to UTF8 by calling sappend_UTF8 on another string instance inside the above example loop. Here's an example function to return a new string instance in UTF8 form given a UTF16 string.
char utf8(uint16_t text)
{
int cp;
sdyna char s = NULL;
while (text) {
text = cf_decode_UTF16(text, &cp);
s = sappend_UTF8(s, cp);
}
return s;
}
