Static Methodswift 6.0.3Swift

encode(_:into:)

Encodes a Unicode scalar as a series of code units by calling the given closure on each code unit.

static func encode(_ input: Unicode.Scalar, into processCodeUnit: (Unicode.UTF16.CodeUnit) -> Void)

Parameters

input

The Unicode scalar value to encode.

processCodeUnit

A closure that processes one code unit argument at a time.

For example, the musical fermata symbol (β€œπ„β€) is a single Unicode scalar value (\u{1D110}) but requires two code units for its UTF-16 representation. The following code encodes a fermata in UTF-16:

var codeUnits: [UTF16.CodeUnit] = []
UTF16.encode("𝄐", into: { codeUnits.append($0) })
print(codeUnits)
// Prints "[55348, 56592]"
