3. 1. Unicode 2. Encodings for Unicode 3. Unicode in JavaScript

   4. Unicode in MySQL 5. Hacking with Unicode What we’ll cover

4. 1. Unicode

5. code point unique name symbol/glyph

6. A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A U+0041

7. a LATIN SMALL LETTER A U+0061

8. © COPYRIGHT SIGN U+00A9

9. ‚ SNOWMAN U+2603

10. PILE OF POO U+1F4A9 !

11. U+000000 → U+10FFFF

12. (0x10FFFF + 1) code points ↓ 17 planes (0xFFFF +

    1) code points each

13. Unicode plane #1 U+0000 → U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane a.k.a.

    BMP

14. Unicode planes #2-17 U+010000 → U+10FFFF supplementary planes astral planes

15. 2. Encodings

16. Code point range UTF-8 UTF-16 UTF-32 UTF-EBCDIC GB 18030 U+000000

    – U+00007F 1 2 4 1 1 U+000080 – U+00009F 2 2 for characters inherited from GB 2312/GBK (e.g. most Chinese characters); 4 for everything else U+0000A0 – U+0003FF 2 U+000400 – U+0007FF 3 U+000800 – U+003FFF 3 U+004000 – U+00FFFF 4 U+010000 – U+03FFFF 4 4 4 U+040000 – U+10FFFF 5 Number of bytes per code point

17. Code point range UTF-8 UTF-16 UTF-32 UTF-EBCDIC GB 18030 U+000000

    – U+00007F 1 2 4 1 1 U+000080 – U+00009F 2 2 for characters inherited from GB 2312/GBK (e.g. most Chinese characters); 4 for everything else U+0000A0 – U+0003FF 2 U+000400 – U+0007FF 3 U+000800 – U+003FFF 3 U+004000 – U+00FFFF 4 U+010000 – U+03FFFF 4 4 4 U+040000 – U+10FFFF 5 Number of bytes per code point

18. 3. JavaScript " Unicode https://mths.be/jsu

19. Hexadecimal escape sequences >> '\x41\x42\x43' 'ABC' >> '\xA9 Caf\xE9 XYZ'

    '© Café XYZ' can be used for U+0000 → U+00FF

20. Unicode escape sequences >> '\u0041\u0042\u0043' 'ABC' >> 'I \u2661 JavaScript!'

    'I ὑ JavaScript!' can be used for U+0000 → U+FFFF

21. …what about astral code points?

22. …what about !? *…and other, equally important astral symbols *

23. !

24. Unicode code point escapes >> '\u{41}\u{42}\u{43}' 'ABC' >> '\u{1F4A9}' '!'

    // U+1F4A9 can be used for U+000000 → U+10FFFF ES6

25. Surrogate pairs >> '\uD83D\uDCA9' '!' // U+1F4A9 can be used

    for U+010000 → U+10FFFF

26. Surrogate pairs // for astral code points (> 0xFFFF) function

    getSurrogates(codePoint) { var high = Math.floor((codePoint - 0x10000) / 0x400) + 0xD800; var low = (codePoint - 0x10000) % 0x400 + 0xDC00; return [ high, low ]; } function getCodePoint(high, low) { var codePoint = (high - 0xD800) * 0x400 + low - 0xDC00 + 0x10000; return codePoint; } >> getSurrogates(0x1F4A9); // U+1F4A9 is ! [ 0xD83D, 0xDCA9 ] >> getCodePoint(0xD83D, 0xDCA9); 0x1F4A9 https://mths.be/bed

27. JavaScript string length >> 'A'.length // U+0041 1 >> 'A'

    == '\u0041' true >> 'B'.length // U+0042 1 >> 'B' == '\u0042' true

28. String length ≠ char count >> '!'.length // U+1D400 2

    >> '!' == '\uD835\uDC00' true >> '"'.length // U+1D401 2 >> '"' == '\uD835\uDC01' true

29. String length ≠ char count >> '!'.length // U+1F4A9 2

    >> '!' == '\uD83D\uDCA9' true

30. String length ≠ char count >> '!'.length // U+1F4A9 2

    >> '!' == '\uD83D\uDCA9' true insert obligatory “number two” joke here

31. Real-world example

32. Real-world example

33. None
34. None

35. String character count function countSymbols(string) { return punycode.ucs2.decode(string).length; } >>

    countSymbols('A') // U+0041 1 >> countSymbols('!') // U+1D400 1 >> countSymbols('!') // U+1F4A9 1 https://mths.be/punycode

36. String character count function countSymbols(string) { return Array.from(string).length; } >>

    countSymbols('A') // U+0041 1 >> countSymbols('!') // U+1D400 1 >> countSymbols('!') // U+1F4A9 1 ES6

37. String character count function countSymbols(string) { return [...string].length; } >>

    countSymbols('A') // U+0041 1 >> countSymbols('!') // U+1D400 1 >> countSymbols('!') // U+1F4A9 1 ES6

38. JavaScript escape sequences http://mths.be/bmf

39. If we’re being pedantic… // it’s actually even more complicated:

    >> 'mañana' == 'mañana' false

40. If we’re being pedantic… // it’s actually even more complicated:

    >> 'mañana' == 'mañana' false >> 'ma\xF1ana' == 'man\u0303ana' false >> 'ma\xF1ana'.length 6 >> 'man\u0303ana'.length 7

41. function countSymbolsPedantically(string) { // Unicode Normalization, NFC form: var normalized

    = string.normalize('NFC'); // Account for astral symbols / surrogates: return Array.from(normalized).length; } >> countSymbolsPedantically('mañana') // U+00F1 6 >> countSymbolsPedantically('mañana') // U+006E + U+0303 6 Unicode normalization http://git.io/unorm ES6

42. Perfect? >> var zalgo = 'H ̹̙̦̮͉̩̗̗ ͧ̇̏̊̾ Eͨ͆͒̆ͮ̃ ͏̷̮̣̫̤̣

43. Perfect? Nope. → can be ‘fixed’ using epic regex-fu >>

    var zalgo = 'H ̹̙̦̮͉̩̗̗ ͧ̇̏̊̾ Eͨ͆͒̆ͮ̃ ͏̷̮̣̫̤̣ ̵̞̹̻ ̀̉̓ͬ͑͡ ͅ Cͯ̂͐ ͏̨̛͔̦̟͈̻ O ̜͎͍͙͚̬̝̣ ̽ͮ͐͗̀ͤ̍̀ ͢ M ̴̡̲̭͍͇̼̟̯̦ ̉̒͠ Ḛ̛̙̞̪̗ ͥ ͤͩ̾͑̔͐ ͅ Ṯ̴̷̷̗̼͍ ̿̿̓̽͐ H ̙̙ ̔̄ ͜ '; >> countSymbolsPedantically(zalgo) 116 // not 9

44. Reversing a string in JavaScript // naive solution function reverse(string)

    { return string.split('').reverse().join(''); }

45. Reversing a string in JavaScript // naive solution function reverse(string)

    { return string.split('').reverse().join(''); } >> reverse('abc') 'cba'

46. Reversing a string in JavaScript // naive solution function reverse(string)

    { return string.split('').reverse().join(''); } >> reverse('abc') 'cba' >> reverse('mañana') // U+00F1 'anañam'

47. Reversing a string in JavaScript // naive solution function reverse(string)

    { return string.split('').reverse().join(''); } >> reverse('abc') 'cba' >> reverse('mañana') // U+00F1 'anañam' >> reverse('mañana') // U+006E + U+0303 'anãnam'

48. Reversing a string in JavaScript // naive solution function reverse(string)

    { return string.split('').reverse().join(''); } >> reverse('abc') 'cba' >> reverse('mañana') // U+00F1 'anañam' >> reverse('mañana') // U+006E + U+0303 'anãnam' >> reverse('!') // U+1F4A9 '��' '\uDCA9\uD83D' // the surrogate pair for !, in the wrong order

49. “I put my thang down, flip it, and reverse it”

    — Missy ‘Misdemeanor’ Elliot, 2002

50. Reversing a string in JavaScript // Using the Esrever library

    var reverse = esrever.reverse; >> reverse('abc') 'cba' >> reverse('mañana') // U+00F1 'anañam' >> reverse('mañana') // U+006E + U+0303 'anañam' >> reverse('!') // U+1F4A9 '!' https://mths.be/esrever

51. Iterate over all symbols in a string function getSymbols(string) {

    var length = string.length; var index = -1; var output = []; var character; var charCode; while (++index < length) { character = string.charAt(index); charCode = character.charCodeAt(0); if (charCode >= 0xD800 && charCode <= 0xDBFF) { // note: this doesn’t account for lone high surrogates output.push(character + string.charAt(++index)); } else { output.push(character); } } return output; } var symbols = getSymbols('! '); symbols.forEach(function(symbol) { assert(symbol == '! '); });

52. Iterate over all symbols in a string for (const symbol

    of '!') { assert(symbol == '!'); } ES6

53. This behavior affects other string methods, too.

54. More string madness •String#fromCharCode •String#charAt •String#substring •String#slice •…anything that involves

    strings •oh, and regular expressions
