Hi, This is a brilliant piece of code. I have a string of octal representation of the utf8string like("\320\223...") that I want to decode to unicode String.. How do I do that..?
Hi, nice work, but you don't handle Codepoints above 'U+FFFF' correctly, see https://github.com/TSlivede/utf8-regex-encode-decode-js/
@DhamoR If your String only contains ASCII and octal UTF-8 sequences you can do this:
str="\\320\\223...";
Utf8Decode(str.replace(/\\[0-9][0-9][0-9]/g,function(s){return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(s.substr(1),8));}))
If your string can already contain UTF-16 chars you need to first encode those into UTF-8:
str="\\320\\223"+String.fromCodePoint(0x1F60E)+"...";
Utf8Decode(Utf8Encode(str).replace(/\\[0-9][0-9][0-9]/g,function(s){return String.fromCharCode(parseInt(s.substr(1),8));}))
this does not support emoji :(
Excellent work !
Sorry, touch of a newbie question here. When I try to use the code, I get errors on lines 22/43 with the function(c); call. Can someone tell me where to get this piece of code? Thanks!
I need to make it url by adding -
muito bom.
Hi: what would be the license for this code?
