Signature

cp.utf16.char(bigEndian, ...) -> string

Type

Function

Description

Receives zero or more integers, converts each one to its corresponding UTF-16 byte sequence and returns a string with the concatenation of all these sequences.

Parameters

​

Returns

​

Signature

cp.utf16.codepoint(bigEndian, s [, i [, j]]) -> integer...

Type

Function

Description

Returns the codepoints (as integers) from all characters in s that start between byte position i and j (both included). The default for i is 1 and for j is i. It raises an error if it meets any invalid byte sequence.

Parameters

​

Returns

Signature

cp.utf16.codes(bigEndian, s) -> iterator

Type

Function

Description

Parameters

​

Returns

​

Signature

cp.utf16.offset (bigEndian, s, n [, i]) -> number

Type

Function

Description

Returns the position (in bytes) where the encoding of the n-th character of s (counting from position i) starts. A negative n gets characters before position i. The default for i is 1 when n is non-negative and #s + 1 otherwise, so that utf8.offset(s, -n) gets the offset of the n-th character from the end of the string. If the specified character is neither in the subject nor right after its end, the function returns nil.

Parameters
