Module:Unicode convert/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

Converts Unicode character codes, always given in hexadecimal, to their UTF-8 or UTF-16 representation in upper-case hex or decimal. Can also reverse this for UTF-8. The UTF-16 form will accept and pass through unpaired surrogates e.g. {{#invoke:Unicode convert|getUTF8|D835}} → D835. The reverse function fromUTF8 accepts multiple characters, and can have both input and output set to decimal.

When using from another module, you may call these functions as e.g. unicodeConvert.getUTF8{ args = {'1F345'} }, without a proper frame object.

To find the character code of a given symbol (in decimal), use e.g. {{#invoke:ustring|codepoint|\🐱}} → 128049.
