Common trait for unicode scalars.

Required Associated Constants

const MAX: Self

The highest unicode scalar that can be represented by this type.

Required Methods

fn byte_len(self) -> usize

Returns the number of bytes needed to represent the scalar value.

fn len_utf8(self) -> usize

Returns the number of bytes needed to encode in UTF-8.

fn len_utf16(self) -> usize

Returns the number of bytes needed to encode in UTF-16.

fn encode_utf8(self, dst: &mut [u8]) -> &mut str

Encodes this scalar as UTF-8 into the provided byte buffer, and then returns the subslice of the buffer that contains the encoded scalar.

Panics

Panics if the buffer is not large enough. A buffer of length four is large enough to encode any char.

fn to_utf8_bytes(self) -> [u8; 4]

Converts this scalar to an UTF-8 encoded sequence of bytes.

Note that this function always returns a 4-byte array, but the actual UTF-8 sequence may be shorter. The unused bytes are set to 0.

fn encode_utf16(self, dst: &mut [u16]) -> &mut [u16]

Encodes this scalar as UTF-16 into the provided byte buffer, and then returns the subslice of the buffer that contains the encoded scalar.

Panics

Panics if the buffer is not large enough. A buffer of length 2 is large enough to encode any char.

fn to_digit(self, radix: u32) -> Option<u32>

Converts the scalar to a digit in the given radix.

‘Digit’ is defined to be only the following characters: 0-9, a-z, A-Z.

Errors

Returns None if the char does not refer to a digit in the given radix.

Panics

Panics if given a radix larger than 36.

fn to_ascii_uppercase(self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Makes a copy of the value in its ASCII upper case equivalent.

ASCII letters ‘a’ to ‘z’ are mapped to ‘A’ to ‘Z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.

fn to_ascii_lowercase(self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Makes a copy of the value in its ASCII lower case equivalent.

ASCII letters ‘A’ to ‘Z’ are mapped to ‘a’ to ‘z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.

fn is_noncharacter(self) -> bool

Returns true if this unicode scalar is a noncharacter.

fn is_digit(self, radix: u32) -> bool

Checks if the unicode scalar is a digit in the given radix.

See also to_digit.

fn is_control(self) -> bool

Returns true if this unicode scalar has the general category for control codes.

fn is_nul(self) -> bool

Returns true if this unicode scalar is the nul character (0x00).

fn is_alphabetic(self) -> bool

Returns true if this unicode scalar has the Alphabetic property.

fn is_numeric(self) -> bool

Returns true if this unicode scalar has one of the general categories for numbers.

If you want to parse ASCII decimal digits (0-9) or ASCII base-N, use is_ascii_digit or is_digit instead.

fn is_alphanumeric(self) -> bool

Returns true if this unicode scalar satisfies either is_alphabetic() or is_numeric().

fn is_lowercase(self) -> bool

Returns true if this unicode scalar has the Lowercase property.

fn is_uppercase(self) -> bool

Returns true if this unicode scalar has the Lowercase property.

fn is_whitespace(self) -> bool

Returns true if this unicode scalar has the White_Space property.

fn is_ascii(self) -> bool

Checks if the value is within the ASCII range.

Provided Methods

fn is_character(self) -> bool

where Self: Sized,

Returns true if this unicode scalar is an abstract character.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
