![]() ![]() sounds like the grapheme for something like “ä” can be represented either by the older style (legacy) single-codepoint U+00e4, or else as “a” plus the combining diaeresis U+0308.The two code units make up a “surrogate pair”. All codepoints in this string are part of the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) ( 0x0000 - 0xffff). Surrogate Pair Since utf-16 is 2 bytes, to represent code points above U+FFFF you need an extra code unit. Glyph a graphical image stored in a font, one or more of which represent a grapheme. Grapheme the thing that’s displayed as a single graphical character. In utf-8, code points map to one, two, three, or four code units. Storing a string takes up code units on disk or in memory. The isBmpCodePoint (int codePoint () method of Character class generally determines whether the given (or specified) Unicode character lies in the range of Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). UTF-8 is the standard, but you’ll also see others (including utf-16).Ĭode Unit the unit of storage for a given character encoding. This limitation seems to carry over to PEG.js, as shown in the example below. Code points also have a long unicode character name (for example, ψ is “GREEK SMALL LETTER PSI”.Ĭharacter Encoding How you go between code points and bytes. JavaScript is, without some custom boilerplate, unable to properly deal with Unicode characters/codepoints outside the BMP, i.e., ones whose encoding requires more than 16 bits. ![]() Unicode is split into 17 “planes” of code points U+0000 to U+ffff is in the first plane (0) and is called the “basic multilingual plane” (BMP). This browser-based utility extracts code point values from Unicode text. Code points go from U+ffff to U+0010ffff. It usually means either a grapheme, code point, or glyph.Ĭode Point The number representing a given unicode character/symbol. With the static analysis, we could change this parameter of this bytecode instruction to 1 or 2 for the two first cases. For now the bytecode assumes a regex class is always one code unit. one-or-two code units depending on runtime. This info is all over the internet, but here’s my summary: Character This term tends to be overloaded. Regex class can be analysed statically during parser generation to check if they have a fixed length (in number of code units). Some Unicode terminology I had to look up. ![]()
