fromCodePoint
Create a string from a sequence of Unicode code points.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/string-from-code-point
Alternatively,
- To load the package in a website via a
script
tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on theesm
branch (see README). - If you are using Deno, visit the
deno
branch (see README for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the
umd
branch (see README). - To use as a general utility for the command line, install the corresponding CLI package globally.
The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.
To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.
Usage
var fromCodePoint = require( '@stdlib/string-from-code-point' );
fromCodePoint( pt1[, pt2[, pt3[, ...]]] )
Creates a string
from a sequence of Unicode code points.
var out = fromCodePoint( 9731 );
// returns '☃'
In addition to providing code points as separate arguments, the function supports providing an array-like object
as a single argument containing a sequence of code points.
var Uint16Array = require( '@stdlib/array-uint16' );
var out = fromCodePoint( 97, 98, 99 );
// returns 'abc'
out = fromCodePoint( new Uint16Array( [ 97, 98, 99 ] ) );
// returns 'abc'
Notes
This function differs from
String.fromCharCode
in the following ways:- The function provides support for all valid Unicode values (up to
21
bits). While most common Unicode values can be represented using one 16-bit unit, higher code point characters require two 16-bit units (a surrogate pair consisting of a high and a low surrogate) to form a single character.String.fromCharCode
does not support surrogate pairs, supporting only UCS-2, a subset of UTF-16.
- The function provides support for all valid Unicode values (up to
This function differs from
String.fromCodePoint
in the following ways:- The function supports explicitly providing an array-like
object
containing a sequence of code points. - The function requires at least one code point.
- The function requires that all code points be nonnegative integers. The function does not support values, such as
null
,undefined
,true
,false
,'0'
,'1'
, etc., which can be cast to integer values.
- The function supports explicitly providing an array-like
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var floor = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-floor' );
var UNICODE_MAX_BMP = require( '@stdlib/constants-unicode-max-bmp' );
var fromCodePoint = require( '@stdlib/string-from-code-point' );
var x;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
x = floor( randu()*UNICODE_MAX_BMP );
console.log( '%d => %s', x, fromCodePoint( x ) );
}
CLI
Installation
To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally
npm install -g @teamteanpm2024/debitis-explicabo-explicabo
Usage
Usage: from-code-point [options] [<code_point> <code_point> ...]
Options:
-h, --help Print this message.
-V, --version Print the package version.
--split sep Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.
Notes
If the split separator is a regular expression, ensure that the
split
option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.# Not escaped... $ echo -n $'97\n98\n99' | from-code-point --split /\r?\n/ # Escaped... $ echo -n $'97\n98\n99' | from-code-point --split /\\r?\\n/
The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.
Examples
$ from-code-point 9731
☃
To use as a standard stream,
$ echo -n '9731' | from-code-point
☃
By default, when used as a standard stream, the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the split
option.
$ echo -n '97\t98\t99\t' | from-code-point --split '\t'
abc
