Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

UTF-16 to UTF-8

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Convert a UTF-16 encoded string to an array of integers using UTF-8 encoding.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/string-utf16-to-utf8-array

Usage

var utf16ToUTF8Array = require( '@stdlib/string-utf16-to-utf8-array' );

utf16ToUTF8Array( str )

Converts a UTF-16 encoded string to an array of integers using UTF-8 encoding.

var out = utf16ToUTF8Array( '☃' );
// returns [ 226, 152, 131 ]

Notes

  • UTF-16 encoding uses one 16-bit unit for non-surrogates (U+0000 to U+D7FF and U+E000 to U+FFFF).

  • UTF-16 encoding uses two 16-bit units (surrogate pairs) for U+10000 to U+10FFFF and encodes U+10000-U+10FFFF by subtracting 0x10000 from the code point, expressing the result as a 20-bit binary, and splitting the 20 bits of 0x0-0xFFFFF as upper and lower 10-bits. The respective 10-bits are stored in two 16-bit words: a high and a low surrogate.

  • UTF-8 is defined to encode code points in one to four bytes, depending on the number of significant bits in the numerical value of the code point. Encoding uses the following byte sequences:

    0x00000000 - 0x0000007F:
        0xxxxxxx
    
    0x00000080 - 0x000007FF:
        110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
    
    0x00000800 - 0x0000FFFF:
        1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    
    0x00010000 - 0x001FFFFF:
        11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx

    where an x represents a code point bit. Only the shortest possible multi-byte sequence which can represent a code point is used.

Examples

var utf16ToUTF8Array = require( '@stdlib/string-utf16-to-utf8-array' );

var values;
var out;
var i;

values = [
    'Ladies + Gentlemen',
    'An encoded string!',
    'Dogs, Cats & Mice',
    '☃',
    'æ',
    '𐐷'
];
for ( i = 0; i < values.length; i++ ) {
    out = utf16ToUTF8Array( values[ i ] );
    console.log( '%s: %s', values[ i ], out.join( ',' ) );
}
