Module std::char

A Unicode scalar value

This module provides the CharExt trait, as well as its implementation for the primitive char type, in order to allow basic character manipulation.

A char represents a Unicode scalar value, as it can contain any Unicode code point except high-surrogate and low-surrogate code points.

As such, only values in the ranges [0x0,0xD7FF] and [0xE000,0x10FFFF] (inclusive) are allowed. A char can always be safely cast to a u32; however the converse is not always true due to the above range limits and, as such, should be performed via the from_u32 function.

See also the char primitive type.

Structs

EscapeDefault	An iterator over the characters that represent a char, escaped for maximum portability.
EscapeUnicode	An iterator over the characters that represent a char, as escaped by Rust's unicode escaping rules.
ToLowercase	An iterator over the lowercase mapping of a given character, returned from the to_lowercase method on characters.
ToUppercase	An iterator over the uppercase mapping of a given character, returned from the to_uppercase method on characters.

Constants

MAX	The highest valid code point
UNICODE_VERSION	[Unstable] The version of Unicode that the unicode parts of CharExt and UnicodeStrPrelude traits are based on.

Functions

from_digit	Converts a number to the character representing it.
from_u32	Converts a u32 to an Option<char>.
from_u32_unchecked	[Unstable] Converts a u32 to an char, not checking whether it is a valid unicode codepoint.
