Utitilities for Unicode code point based on Java API.

In this module, Unicode code point is used for character values in the range between 0x0000 and 0x10FFFF. On the other hand, Unicode code unit is used for 16-bit integer values that are code units of the UTF-16 encoding.

installation

$ npm install codepoint

codepoint.charCount(cp)

Determines the number of Unicode code units needed to represent the specified Unicode code point. If the specified code point is equal to or greater than codepoint.MIN_SUPPLEMENTARY_CODE_POINT, then the function returns 2. Otherwise, the function returns 1.

  • Arguments
    • cp: the Unicode code point to be tested.
  • Returns
    • 2 if the Unicode code point is a valid supplementary code point; 1 otherwise.

codepoint.codePointAt(str , index)

Returns the code point at the given index of the str. If the code unit value at the given index in the str is in the high-surrogate range, the following index is less than the length of the str, and the code unit value at the following index is in the low-surrogate range, then the supplementary code point corresponding to this surrogate pair is returned. Otherwise, the code unit value at the given index is returned.

  • Arguments
    • str: the string.
    • index: the index to the Unicode code units in str to be converted. Defaults to 0.
  • Returns
    • the Unicode code point value at the given index.

codepoint.codePointBefore(str , index)

Returns the code point preceding the given index of the str. If the code unit value at (index - 1) in the str is in the low-surrogate range, (index - 2) is not negative, and the code unit value at (index - 2) in the str is in the high-surrogate range, then the supplementary code point corresponding to this surrogate pair is returned. Otherwise, the code unit value at (index - 1) is returned.

  • Arguments
    • str: the string.
    • index: the index following the code point that should be returned. Defaults to str.length.
  • Returns
    • the Unicode code point value before the given index.

codepoint.codePointCount(str [, beginIndex , endIndex])

Returns the number of Unicode code points in the text range of the specified str. The text range begins at the specified beginIndex and extends to the Unicode code unit at index endIndex - 1. Thus the length (in code units) of the text range is endIndex-beginIndex. Unpaired surrogates within the text range count as one code point each.

  • Arguments
    • str: the string.
    • beginIndex: the index to the first code unit of the text range. Defaults to 0.
    • endIndex: the index after the last code unit of the text range. Defaults to str.length.
  • Returns
    • the number of Unicode code points in the specified text range.

codepoint.forEachCodePoint(str, cb , thisArgs)

Executes a provided function (cb) once for each code point present in the str.

  • Arguments
    • str: the string.
    • cb: callback function.
    • thisArg: this value for each invocationof cb. if it is not provided, undefined is used instead.

cb is invoked with three arguments:

  • Arguments
    • cp: the code point value.
    • index: the index to the code point of the str. (i.e. cp === codepoint.codePointAt(str, index))
    • str: the string being traversed.

codepoint.fromCodePoint(cp, ...)

Returns a string value containing as many code points as the number of arguments. Each argument specifies one code point of the resulting string, with the first argument specifing the first code point, and so on, from left to right.

  • Argument
    • cp: Unicode code point.
  • Returns
    • the string.

codepoint.highSurrogate(cp)

Returns the leading surrogate (a high surrogate code unit) of the surrogate pair representing the specified supplementary code point in the UTF-16 encoding. If the specified Unicode code point is not a supplementary code point, an unspecified code unit is returned.

  • Arguments
    • cp: a supplementary code point.
  • Returns
    • the leading surrogate code unit used to represent the character in the UTF-16 encoding

codepoint.isBmpCodePoint(cp)

Determines whether the specified Unicode code point is in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). Such code points can be represented using a single code unit.

  • Arguments
    • cp: the Unicode code point to be tested.
  • Returns
    • true if the specified code point is between codepoint.MIN_CODE_POINT and codepoint.MAX_CODE_UNIT inclusive; false otherwise.

codepoint.isHighSurrogate(cu)

  • Arguments
    • cu: the Unicode code unit to be tested.
  • Returns
    • true if the code unit is between codepoint.MIN_HIGH_SURROGATE and codepoint.MAX_HIGH_SURROGATE inclusive; false otherwise.

  • Arguments
    • cu: the Unicode code unit to be tested.
  • Returns
    • true if the code unit is between codepoint.MIN_LOW_SURROGATE and codepoint.MAX_LOW_SURROGATE inclusive; false otherwise.

codepoint.isSupplementaryCodePoint(cp)

Determines whether the specified Unicode code point is in the supplementary character range.

  • Arguments
    • cp: the Unicode code point to be tested.
  • Returns
    • true if the specified code point is between MIN_SUPPLEMENTARY_CODE_POINT and MAX_CODE_POINT inclusive; false otherwise.

codepoint.isSurrogate(cu)

Determines if the given Unicode code unit is a Unicode surrogate code unit.

  • Arguments
    • cu: the Unicode code unit to be tested.
  • Returns
    • true if the code unit is between codepoint.MIN_SURROGATE and codepoint.MAX_SURROGATE inclusive; false otherwise.

codepoint.isSurrogatePair(highCu, lowCu)

Determines whether the specified pair of code units is a valid Unicode surrogate pair.

  • Arguments
    • highCu: the high-surrogate code unit to be tested.
    • lowCu: the low-surrogate code unit to be tested.
  • Returns
    • true if the specified high and low-surrogate code values represent a valid surrogate pair; false otherwise.

codepoint.lowSurrogate(cp)

Returns the trailing surrogate (a low surrogate code unit) of the surrogate pair representing the specified supplementary code point in the UTF-16 encoding. If the specified code point is not a supplementary character, an unspecified code unit is returned.

  • Arguments
    • cp: a supplementary code point.
  • Returns
    • the trailing surrogate code unit used to represent the character in the UTF-16 encoding

codepoint.offsetByCodePoints(str, index, codePointOffset)

Returns the index within the given str that is offset from the given index by codePointOffset code points. Unpaired surrogates within the text range given by index and codePointOffset count as one code point each.

  • Arguments
    • str: the string.
    • index: the index to be offset.
    • codePointOffset: the offset in code points.
  • Returns
    • the index within the str. -1 if index is negative or larger then the length of the str, or if codePointOffset is positive and the subsequence starting with index has fewer than codePointOffset code points, or if codePointOffset is negative and the subsequence before index has fewer than the absolute value of codePointOffset code points.

codepoint.toChars(cp)

Converts the specified Unicode code point to its UTF-16 representation stored in an array of code units. If the specified code point is a BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane or Plane 0) value, the resulting array has the same value as codePoint. If the specified code point is a supplementary code point, the resulting array has the corresponding surrogate pair.

  • Arguments
    • cp: a Unicode code point
  • Returns
    • an array of code units having codePoint's UTF-16 representation.

codepoint.toCodePoint(highSurrogate, lowSurrogate)

Converts the specified surrogate pair to its supplementary code point value. This method does not validate the specified surrogate pair. The caller must validate it using codepoint.isSurrogatePair() if necessary.

  • Arguments
    • highSurrogate: the high-surrogate code unit.
    • lowSurrogate: the low-surrogate code unit.
  • Returns
    • the supplementary code point composed from the specified surrogate pair.
