Module:Unicode convert/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Module:Unicode convert. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page. |
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
Usage
[edit]Converts Unicode character codes, always given in hexadecimal, to their UTF-8 or UTF-16 representation in upper-case hex or decimal. Can also reverse this for UTF-8. The UTF-16 form will accept and pass through unpaired surrogates e.g. {{#invoke:Unicode convert|getUTF8|D835}} → D835. The reverse function fromUTF8 accepts multiple characters, and can have both input and output set to decimal.
When using from another module, you may call these functions as e.g. unicodeConvert.getUTF8{ args = {'1F345'} }, without a proper frame object.
To find the character code of a given symbol (in decimal), use e.g. {{#invoke:ustring|codepoint|\🐱}} → 128049.
