Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) library that adds basic support for Unicode code points.

Note: This library is a side project and work in progress. When evaluating whether to use this in production, please consider this project unmaintained. That being said, contributions are welcome. But don't expect fast responses.

kotlin-codepoints is distributed through Maven Central.

dependencies { // Basic API implementation("de.cketti.unicode:kotlin-codepoints:0.11.0") // or // Nice API implementation("de.cketti.unicode:kotlin-codepoints-deluxe:0.11.0") }

This library aims to make some methods of the Java standard library available to Kotlin multiplatform projects.

Methods found in java.lang.String:

• CharSequence.codePointAt(index)
• CharSequence.codePointBefore(index)
• CharSequence.codePointCount(beginIndex, endIndex)
• CharSequence.offsetByCodePoints(index, codePointOffset)

Methods found in java.lang.StringBuilder:

• Appendable.appendCodePoint(codePoint)

Methods found in java.lang.Character:

• CodePoints.isValidCodePoint(codePoint)
• CodePoints.isBmpCodePoint(codePoint)
• CodePoints.isSupplementaryCodePoint(codePoint)
• CodePoints.charCount(codePoint)
• CodePoints.isSurrogatePair(highSurrogate, lowSurrogate)
• CodePoints.highSurrogate(codePoint)
• CodePoints.lowSurrogate(codePoint)
• CodePoints.toCodePoint(highSurrogate, lowSurrogate)
• CodePoints.toChars(codePoint)
• CodePoints.toChars(codePoint, destination, offset)

On the JVM the platform implementation (java.lang.Character.*) is used. On all other platforms the implementation in this library is used.

This library builds on top of kotlin-codepoints. It adds a the CodePoint class to make working with code points a bit less painful.

Until someone gets around to building and publishing proper documentation, see CodePoint.kt to get and idea of what's available.

val text = "🦕&🦖" for (codePoint in text.codePointSequence()) { print("code point: ${codePoint.toUnicodeNotation()}, char count: ${codePoint.charCount}") if (codePoint.isBasic) { println(" - boring!") } else { println() } } // Output: // ------- // code point: U+1F995, char count: 2 // code point: U+0026, char count: 1 - boring! // code point: U+1F996, char count: 2
