Apply the replacement table to this string (Unicode class)

Items in the replacement table are created with UNICODE Rep update commands, as described in ?? refid=updtuni..

Syntax

%outUnicode = unicode:UnicodeReplace

Syntax terms

%outUnicode A Unicode variable to receive the method object string altered by any replacement characters.
unicode A Unicode string.

Usage notes

  • The method output is the input Unicode string, with those characters specified in the Unicode replacement table replaced by their corresponding Unicode strings. If no Unicode replacement table is in effect, the method merely copies its input.
  • UnicodeReplace is available as of "Sirius Mods" Version 7.3.

Examples

  1. The following example shows a successful call of UnicodeReplace. The U constant function is used in the example. An updating UNICODE command is used "in-line" with the User Language request to make the example concrete. In actual usage, updating UNICODE commands should only be issued from your Model 204 initialization stream.

    UNICODE Table Standard Rep U=2122 '(TM)' begin %u Unicode Initial('Cool™':U) print %u:UnicodeReplace end

    The result is:

    Cool(TM)
