wx.UniChar

This class represents a single Unicode character.

It can be converted to and from char or wchar_t and implements commonly used character operations.

Methods Summary

__init__
GetAsChar	Returns True if the character is representable as a single byte in the current locale encoding.
GetValue	Returns Unicode code point value of the character.
HighSurrogate	Returns the high surrogate code unit for the supplementary character.
IsAscii	Returns True if the character is an ASCII character (i.e. if its value is less than 128).
IsBMP	Returns True if the character is a BMP character (i.e. if its value is less than 0x10000).
IsSupplementary	Returns True if the character is a supplementary character (i.e. between 0x10000 and 0x10FFFF).
LowSurrogate	Returns the low surrogate code unit for the supplementary character.

This class represents a single Unicode character.

Methods

__init__(self, *args, **kw)

Overloaded Implementations:

---

__init__ (self, c)

Parameters:

c (long)

Return type:

None

---

__init__ (self, c)

Parameters:

c (long)

Return type:

None

---

---

GetAsChar(self, c)

Returns True if the character is representable as a single byte in the current locale encoding.

This function only returns True if the character can be converted in exactly one byte, e.g. it only returns True for 7 bit ASCII characters when the encoding used is UTF-8.

It is mostly useful to test if the character can be passed to functions taking a int and is used by wxWidgets itself for this purpose.

Parameters:

c (int) – An output pointer to the value of this Unicode character as a char . Must be not None.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

True if the object is an 8 bit int and c was filled with its value as int or False otherwise (c won’t be modified then).

Added in version 2.9.1.
