module UChar:sig
..end
Unicode (ISO-UCS) characters.
This module implements Unicode (actually ISO-UCS) characters. All 31-bit code points are allowed.
type
t
Unicode characters. All 31-bit code points are allowed.
exception Out_of_range
val char_of : t -> char
char_of u
returns the Latin-1 representation of u
.
If u
can not be represented by Latin-1, raises Out_of_range
val of_char : char -> t
of_char c
returns the Unicode character of the Latin-1 character c
val code : t -> int
code u
returns the Unicode code number of u
.
If the value can not be represented by a positive integer,
raise Out_of_range
val chr : int -> t
code n
returns the Unicode character with the code number n
.
If n >= 2^32 or n < 0, raises invalid_arg
val uint_code : t -> int
uint_code u
returns the Unicode code number of u
.
The returned int is unsigned, that is, on 32-bit platforms,
the sign bit is used for storing the 31-th bit of the code number.
val chr_of_uint : int -> t
chr_of_uint n
returns the Unicode character of the code number n
.
n
is interpreted as unsigned, that is, on 32-bit platforms,
the sign bit is treated as the 31-th bit of the code number.
If n exceeds 31-bit values, then raise Invalid_arg
.
val unsafe_chr_of_uint : int -> t
Unsafe version of UChar.chr_of_uint
.
No check of its argument is performed.
val eq : t -> t -> bool
Equality by code point comparison
val compare : t -> t -> int
compare u1 u2
returns,
a value > 0 if u1
has a larger Unicode code number than u2
,
0 if u1
and u2
are the same Unicode character,
a value < 0 if u1
has a smaller Unicode code number than u2
.
