Translate to UTF-16 (Unicode class)
UnicodeToUtf16 converts a Unicode string to a UTF-16 Longstring byte stream.
Syntax
%string = unicode:UnicodeToUtf16[( [InsertBOM= boolean])]
Syntax terms
| %string | A String or Longstring variable to receive the method object string translated to a UTF-16 Big-Endian byte stream (that is, any Unicode point U+wxyz results in the pair of bytes X'wx' and X'yz', in that order). |
|---|---|
| unicode | A Unicode string. |
| InsertBOM | The optional, name required, InsertBOM argument is a Boolean:
|
Exceptions
UnicodeToUtf16 can throw the following exception:
- CharacterTranslationException
- If the method encounters a translation problem, properties of the exception object may indicate the location and type of problem.
Usage notes
- UnicodeToUtf16 is available as of Sirius Mods Version 7.3.
Examples
The following fragment shows a successful call of UnicodeToUtf16.
%u unicode initial('1':U) print %u:unicodeToUtf16:stringToHex print %u:unicodeToUtf16(InsertBOM=True):stringToHex
The result is:
0031 FEFF0031
