Convert a UTF-8 Longstring bytestream to Unicode (String class)
The Utf8ToUnicode intrinsic function converts a UTF-8 string to Unicode.
Syntax
%unicode = string:Utf8ToUnicode[( [AllowUntranslatable= boolean])] Throws CharacterTranslationException
Syntax terms
| %unicode | A string variable to receive the method object string translated to Unicode. |
|---|---|
| string | The method object string that is presumed to contain a UTF-8 byte stream. |
| AllowUntranslatable |
Exceptions
Utf8ToUnicode 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
- Utf8ToUnicode is available as of Sirius Mods Version 7.3.
Examples
-
In the following fragment, Utf8ToUnicode converts a hexadecimal input to a single Unicode character. In case the Unicode character translates to an EBCDIC character that cannot be displayed, the CharacterEncode option of UnicodeToEbcdic causes the output of a hexadecimal character reference. The X constant function is used in the example.
%u unicode %u = 'E284A2':X:Utf8ToUnicode Print %u:unicodeToEbcdic(CharacterEncode=true)
The result of the above fragment is the character reference for the trademark character:
