## Detailed Description

UnicodeString is a string class that stores Unicode characters directly and provides similar functionality as the Java String and StringBuffer/StringBuilder classes.

It is a concrete implementation of the abstract class Replaceable (for transliteration).

A UnicodeString may also "alias" an external array of characters (that is, point to it, rather than own the array) whose lifetime must then at least match the lifetime of the aliasing object. This aliasing may be preserved when returning a UnicodeString by value, depending on the compiler and the function implementation, via Return Value Optimization (RVO) or the move assignment operator. (However, the copy assignment operator does not preserve aliasing.) For details see the description of storage models at the end of the class API docs and in the User Guide chapter linked from there.

The UnicodeString class is not suitable for subclassing.

For an overview of Unicode strings in C and C++ see the User Guide Strings chapter.

In ICU, a Unicode string consists of 16-bit Unicode code units. A Unicode character may be stored with either one code unit (the most common case) or with a matched pair of special code units ("surrogates"). The data type for code units is char16_t. For single-character handling, a Unicode character code point is a value in the range 0..0x10ffff. ICU uses the UChar32 type for code points.

Indexes and offsets into and lengths of strings always count code units, not code points. This is the same as with multi-byte char* strings in traditional string handling. Operations on partial strings typically do not test for code point boundaries. If necessary, the user needs to take care of such boundaries by testing for the code unit values or by using functions like UnicodeString::getChar32Start() and UnicodeString::getChar32Limit() (or, in C, the equivalent macros U16_SET_CP_START() and U16_SET_CP_LIMIT(), see utf.h).

UnicodeString methods are more lenient with regard to input parameter values than other ICU APIs. In particular:

- If indexes are out of bounds for a UnicodeString object (<0 or >length()) then they are "pinned" to the nearest boundary.
- If primitive string pointer values (e.g., const char16_t * or char *) for input strings are NULL, then those input string parameters are treated as if they pointed to an empty string. However, this is not the case for char * parameters for charset names or other IDs.
- Most UnicodeString methods do not take a UErrorCode parameter because there are usually very few opportunities for failure other than a shortage of memory, error codes in low-level C++ string methods would be inconvenient, and the error code as the last parameter (ICU convention) would prevent the use of default parameter values. Instead, such methods set the UnicodeString into a "bogus" state (see isBogus()) if an error occurs.

In string comparisons, two UnicodeString objects that are both "bogus" compare equal (to be transitive and prevent endless loops in sorting), and a "bogus" string compares less than any non-"bogus" one.

Const UnicodeString methods are thread-safe. Multiple threads can use const methods on the same UnicodeString object simultaneously, but non-const methods must not be called concurrently (in multiple threads) with any other (const or non-const) methods.

Similarly, const UnicodeString & parameters are thread-safe. One object may be passed in as such a parameter concurrently in multiple threads. This includes the const UnicodeString & parameters for copy construction, assignment, and cloning.

UnicodeString uses several storage methods. String contents can be stored inside the UnicodeString object itself, in an allocated and shared buffer, or in an outside buffer that is "aliased". Most of this is done transparently, but careful aliasing in particular provides significant performance improvements. Also, the internal buffer is accessible via special functions. For details see the User Guide Strings chapter.

icu::UnicodeString::UnicodeString | ( | UBool | isTerminated,
|  | ConstChar16Ptr | text,
|  | int32_t | textLength
| ) |  |

Readonly-aliasing char16_t* constructor.

The text will be used for the UnicodeString object, but it will not be released when the UnicodeString is destroyed. This has copy-on-write semantics: When the string is modified, then the buffer is first copied into newly allocated memory. The aliased buffer is never modified.

In an assignment to another UnicodeString, when using the copy constructor or the assignment operator, the text will be copied. When using fastCopyFrom(), the text will be aliased again, so that both strings then alias the same readonly-text.

Parameters

  isTerminated | specifies if `text` is `NUL`-terminated. This must be true if `textLength==-1`.
  text | The characters to alias for the UnicodeString.
  textLength | The number of Unicode characters in `text` to alias. If -1, then this constructor will determine the length by calling `u_strlen()`.

  ICU 2.0

icu::UnicodeString::UnicodeString | ( | char16_t * | buffer,
|  | int32_t | buffLength,
|  | int32_t | buffCapacity
| ) |  |

Writable-aliasing char16_t* constructor.

The text will be used for the UnicodeString object, but it will not be released when the UnicodeString is destroyed. This has write-through semantics: For as long as the capacity of the buffer is sufficient, write operations will directly affect the buffer. When more capacity is necessary, then a new buffer will be allocated and the contents copied as with regularly constructed strings. In an assignment to another UnicodeString, the buffer will be copied. The extract(Char16Ptr dst) function detects whether the dst pointer is the same as the string buffer itself and will in this case not copy the contents.

Parameters

  buffer | The characters to alias for the UnicodeString.
  buffLength | The number of Unicode characters in `buffer` to alias.
  buffCapacity | The size of `buffer` in char16_ts.

UNISTR_FROM_STRING_EXPLICIT icu::UnicodeString::UnicodeString | ( | const char * | codepageData | ) |

char* constructor.

Uses the default converter (and thus depends on the ICU conversion code) unless U_CHARSET_IS_UTF8 is set to 1.

For ASCII (really "invariant character") strings it is more efficient to use the constructor that takes a US_INV (for its enum EInvariant). For ASCII (invariant-character) string literals, see UNICODE_STRING and UNICODE_STRING_SIMPLE.

It is recommended to mark this constructor "explicit" by `-DUNISTR_FROM_STRING_EXPLICIT=explicit` on the compiler command line or similar.

Parameters

  codepageData | an array of bytes, null-terminated, in the platform's default codepage.

icu::UnicodeString::UnicodeString | ( | const char * | codepageData,

| ) |  |

char* constructor.

Uses the default converter (and thus depends on the ICU conversion code) unless U_CHARSET_IS_UTF8 is set to 1.

Parameters

  codepageData | an array of bytes in the platform's default codepage.
  dataLength | The number of bytes in `codepageData`.

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

icu::UnicodeString::UnicodeString | ( | const char * | codepageData,
|  | const char * | codepage
| ) |  |

char* constructor.

Parameters

  codepageData | an array of bytes, null-terminated
  codepage | the encoding of `codepageData`. The special value 0 for `codepage` indicates that the text is in the platform's default codepage.

If `codepage` is an empty string (`""`), then a simple conversion is performed on the codepage-invariant subset ("invariant characters") of the platform encoding. See utypes.h. Recommendation: For invariant-character strings use the constructor UnicodeString(const char *src, int32_t length, enum EInvariant inv) because it avoids object code dependencies of UnicodeString on the conversion code.

Stable:

icu::UnicodeString::UnicodeString | ( | const char * | codepageData,

  dataLength | The number of bytes in `codepageData`.
  codepage | the encoding of `codepageData`. The special value 0 for `codepage` indicates that the text is in the platform's default codepage. If `codepage` is an empty string (`""`), then a simple conversion is performed on the codepage-invariant subset ("invariant characters") of the platform encoding. See utypes.h.

icu::UnicodeString::UnicodeString | ( | const char * | src,
|  | int32_t | srcLength,
|  | UConverter * | cnv,
|  | UErrorCode & | errorCode
| ) |  |

char * / UConverter constructor.

This constructor uses an existing UConverter object to convert the codepage string to Unicode and construct a UnicodeString from that.

The converter is reset at first. If the error code indicates a failure before this constructor is called, or if an error occurs during conversion or construction, then the string will be bogus.

This function avoids the overhead of opening and closing a converter if multiple strings are constructed.

Parameters

  src | input codepage string
  srcLength | length of the input string, can be -1 for NUL-terminated strings
  cnv | converter object (ucnv_resetToUnicode() will be called), can be NULL for the default converter
  errorCode | normal ICU error code

Stable:
  ICU 2.0

icu::UnicodeString::UnicodeString | ( | const char * | src,
|  | int32_t | length,
|  | enum EInvariant | inv
| ) |  |

Constructs a Unicode string from an invariant-character char * string.

About invariant characters see utypes.h. This constructor has no runtime dependency on conversion code and is therefore recommended over ones taking a charset name string (where the empty string "" indicates invariant-character conversion).

Use the macro US_INV as the third, signature-distinguishing parameter.

For example:

void fn(const char *s) {
UnicodeString ustr(s, -1, US_INV);
// use ustr ...
}

Parameters

  src | String using only invariant characters.
  length | Length of src, or -1 if NUL-terminated.
  inv | Signature-distinguishing paramater, use US_INV.

  ICU 3.2

icu::UnicodeString::UnicodeString | ( | const UnicodeString & | that | ) |

Copy constructor.

Starting with ICU 2.4, the assignment operator and the copy constructor allocate a new buffer and copy the buffer contents even for readonly aliases. By contrast, the fastCopyFrom() function implements the old, more efficient but less safe behavior of making this string also a readonly alias to the same buffer.

If the source object has an "open" buffer from getBuffer(minCapacity), then the copy is an empty string.

Parameters

  that | The UnicodeString object to copy.

virtual Replaceable* icu::UnicodeString::clone | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Clone this object, an instance of a subclass of Replaceable.

Clones can be used concurrently in multiple threads. If a subclass does not implement clone(), or if an error occurs, then NULL is returned. The clone functions in all subclasses return a pointer to a Replaceable because some compilers do not support covariant (same-as-this) return types; cast to the appropriate subclass if necessary. The caller must delete the clone.

Returns
  a clone of this object

int8_t icu::UnicodeString::compareCodePointOrder | ( | const UnicodeString & | text | ) | const
| inline

Compare two Unicode strings in code point order.

The result may be different from the results of compare(), operator<, etc. if supplementary characters are present:

In UTF-16, supplementary characters (with code points U+10000 and above) are stored with pairs of surrogate code units. These have values from 0xd800 to 0xdfff, which means that they compare as less than some other BMP characters like U+feff. This function compares Unicode strings in code point order. If either of the UTF-16 strings is malformed (i.e., it contains unpaired surrogates), then the result is not defined.

Parameters

  text | Another string to compare this one to.

Returns
  a negative/zero/positive integer corresponding to whether this string is less than/equal to/greater than the second one in code point order

|  | int32_t | startLength,
|  | char * | target,
|  | int32_t | targetCapacity,
|  | enum EInvariant | inv
| ) |  | const

Copy the characters in the range [`start`, `start + startLength`) into an array of characters.

All characters must be invariant (see utypes.h). Use US_INV as the last, signature-distinguishing parameter.

This function does not write any more than `targetCapacity` characters but returns the length of the entire output string so that one can allocate a larger buffer and call the function again if necessary. The output string is NUL-terminated if possible.

Parameters

  start | offset of first character which will be copied
  startLength | the number of characters to extract
  target | the target buffer for extraction, can be NULL if targetLength is 0
  targetCapacity | the length of the target buffer
  inv | Signature-distinguishing paramater, use US_INV.

Returns

Copy the characters in the range [`start`, `start + length`) into an array of characters in the platform's default codepage.

This function does not write any more than `targetLength` characters but returns the length of the entire output string so that one can allocate a larger buffer and call the function again if necessary. The output string is NUL-terminated if possible.

Parameters

  start | offset of first character which will be copied
  startLength | the number of characters to extract
  target | the target buffer for extraction
  targetLength | the length of the target buffer If `target` is NULL, then the number of bytes required for `target` is returned.

Copy the characters in the range [`start`, `start + length`) into an array of characters in a specified codepage.

The output string is NUL-terminated.

Recommendation: For invariant-character strings use extract(int32_t start, int32_t length, char *target, int32_t targetCapacity, enum EInvariant inv) const because it avoids object code dependencies of UnicodeString on the conversion code.

Parameters

  start | offset of first character which will be copied
  startLength | the number of characters to extract
  target | the target buffer for extraction
  codepage | the desired codepage for the characters. 0 has the special meaning of the default codepage If `codepage` is an empty string (`""`), then a simple conversion is performed on the codepage-invariant subset ("invariant characters") of the platform encoding. See utypes.h. If `target` is NULL, then the number of bytes required for `target` is returned. It is assumed that the target is big enough to fit all of the characters.

UnicodeString& icu::UnicodeString::fastCopyFrom | ( | const UnicodeString & | src | ) |

Almost the same as the assignment operator.

Replace the characters in this UnicodeString with the characters from `srcText`.

This function works the same as the assignment operator for all strings except for ones that are readonly aliases.

Starting with ICU 2.4, the assignment operator and the copy constructor allocate a new buffer and copy the buffer contents even for readonly aliases. This function implements the old, more efficient but less safe behavior of making this string also a readonly alias to the same buffer.

The fastCopyFrom function must be used only if it is known that the lifetime of this UnicodeString does not exceed the lifetime of the aliased buffer including its contents, for example for strings from resource bundles or aliases to string constants.

If the source object has an "open" buffer from getBuffer(minCapacity), then the copy is an empty string.

char16_t* icu::UnicodeString::getBuffer | ( | int32_t | minCapacity | ) |

Get a read/write pointer to the internal buffer.

The buffer is guaranteed to be large enough for at least minCapacity char16_ts, writable, and is still owned by the UnicodeString object. Calls to getBuffer(minCapacity) must not be nested, and must be matched with calls to releaseBuffer(newLength). If the string buffer was read-only or shared, then it will be reallocated and copied.

An attempted nested call will return 0, and will not further modify the state of the UnicodeString object. It also returns 0 if the string is bogus.

The actual capacity of the string buffer may be larger than minCapacity. getCapacity() returns the actual capacity. For many operations, the full capacity should be used to avoid reallocations.

While the buffer is "open" between getBuffer(minCapacity) and releaseBuffer(newLength), the following applies:

- The string length is set to 0.
- Any read API call on the UnicodeString object will behave like on a 0-length string.
- Any write API call on the UnicodeString object is disallowed and will have no effect.
- You can read from and write to the returned buffer.
- The previous string contents will still be in the buffer; if you want to use it, then you need to call length() before getBuffer(minCapacity). If the length() was greater than minCapacity, then any contents after minCapacity may be lost. The buffer contents is not NUL-terminated by getBuffer(). If length()<getCapacity() then you can terminate it by writing a NUL at index length().
- You must call releaseBuffer(newLength) before and in order to return to normal UnicodeString operation.

Parameters

  minCapacity | the minimum number of char16_ts that are to be available in the buffer, starting at the returned pointer; default to the current string capacity if minCapacity==-1

Returns
  a writable pointer to the internal string buffer, or nullptr if an error occurs (nested calls, out of memory)

const char16_t * icu::UnicodeString::getBuffer | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Get a read-only pointer to the internal buffer.

This can be called at any time on a valid UnicodeString.

It returns 0 if the string is bogus, or during an "open" getBuffer(minCapacity).

It can be called as many times as desired. The pointer that it returns will remain valid until the UnicodeString object is modified, at which time the pointer is semantically invalidated and must not be used any more.

The capacity of the buffer can be determined with getCapacity(). The part after length() may or may not be initialized and valid, depending on the history of the UnicodeString object.

The buffer contents is (probably) not NUL-terminated. You can check if it is with `(s.length()<s.getCapacity() && buffer[s.length()]==0)`. (See getTerminatedBuffer().)

The buffer may reside in read-only memory. Its contents must not be modified.

Returns
  a read-only pointer to the internal string buffer, or nullptr if the string is empty or bogus

const char16_t* icu::UnicodeString::getTerminatedBuffer | ( |  | ) |

Get a read-only pointer to the internal buffer, making sure that it is NUL-terminated.

This can be called at any time on a valid UnicodeString.

It returns 0 if the string is bogus, or during an "open" getBuffer(minCapacity), or if the buffer cannot be NUL-terminated (because memory allocation failed).

It can be called as many times as desired. The pointer that it returns will remain valid until the UnicodeString object is modified, at which time the pointer is semantically invalidated and must not be used any more.

The capacity of the buffer can be determined with getCapacity(). The part after length()+1 may or may not be initialized and valid, depending on the history of the UnicodeString object.

The buffer contents is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated. getTerminatedBuffer() may reallocate the buffer if a terminating NUL is written. For this reason, this function is not const, unlike getBuffer(). Note that a UnicodeString may also contain NUL characters as part of its contents.

The buffer may reside in read-only memory. Its contents must not be modified.

UBool icu::UnicodeString::hasMoreChar32Than | ( | int32_t | start,

Check if the length char16_t code units of the string contain more Unicode code points than a certain number.

This is more efficient than counting all code points in this part of the string and comparing that number with a threshold. This function may not need to scan the string at all if the length falls within a certain range, and never needs to count more than 'number+1' code points. Logically equivalent to (countChar32(start, length)>number). A Unicode code point may occupy either one or two char16_t code units.

Parameters

  start | the index of the first code unit to check (0 for the entire string)
  length | the number of char16_t code units to check (use INT32_MAX for the entire string; remember that start/length values are pinned)
  number | The number of code points in the (sub)string is compared against the 'number' parameter.

Returns
  Boolean value for whether the string contains more Unicode code points than 'number'. Same as (u_countChar32(s, length)>number).

UnicodeString& icu::UnicodeString::moveFrom | ( | UnicodeString & | src | ) |

Move assignment, might leave src in bogus state.

This string will have the same contents and state that the source string had. The behavior is undefined if *this and src are the same object.

Can be called explicitly, does not need C++11 support.

Parameters

  src | source string

Returns
  *this

Draft:
  This API may be changed in the future versions and was introduced in ICU 56

int32_t icu::UnicodeString::moveIndex32 | ( | int32_t | index,
|  | int32_t | delta
| ) |  | const

Move the code unit index along the string by delta code points.

Interpret the input index as a code unit-based offset into the string, move the index forward or backward by delta code points, and return the resulting index. The input index should point to the first code unit of a code point, if there is more than one.

Both input and output indexes are code unit-based as for all string indexes/offsets in ICU (and other libraries, like MBCS char*). If delta<0 then the index is moved backward (toward the start of the string). If delta>0 then the index is moved forward (toward the end of the string).

This behaves like CharacterIterator::move32(delta, kCurrent).

Behavior for out-of-bounds indexes: `moveIndex32` pins the input index to 0..length(), i.e., if the input index<0 then it is pinned to 0; if it is index>length() then it is pinned to length(). Afterwards, the index is moved by `delta` code points forward or backward, but no further backward than to 0 and no further forward than to length(). The resulting index return value will be in between 0 and length(), inclusively.

Examples:

    // s has code points 'a' U+10000 'b' U+10ffff U+2029
    UnicodeString s=UNICODE_STRING("a\\U00010000b\\U0010ffff\\u2029", 31).unescape();

    // initial index: position of U+10000
    int32_t index=1;

    // the following examples will all result in index==4, position of U+10ffff

    // skip 2 code points from some position in the string
    index=s.moveIndex32(index, 2); // skips U+10000 and 'b'

    // go to the 3rd code point from the start of s (0-based)
    index=s.moveIndex32(0, 3); // skips 'a', U+10000, and 'b'

    // go to the next-to-last code point of s
    index=s.moveIndex32(s.length(), -2); // backward-skips U+2029 and U+10ffff

Parameters

  index | input code unit index
  delta | (signed) code point count to move the index forward or backward in the string

Returns
  the resulting code unit index

UnicodeString& icu::UnicodeString::operator= | ( | const UnicodeString & | srcText | ) |

Assignment operator.

Replace the characters in this UnicodeString with the characters from `srcText`.

Starting with ICU 2.4, the assignment operator and the copy constructor allocate a new buffer and copy the buffer contents even for readonly aliases. By contrast, the fastCopyFrom() function implements the old, more efficient but less safe behavior of making this string also a readonly alias to the same buffer.

If the source object has an "open" buffer from getBuffer(minCapacity), then the copy is an empty string.

Parameters

void icu::UnicodeString::releaseBuffer | ( | int32_t | newLength = `-1` | ) |

Release a read/write buffer on a UnicodeString object with an "open" getBuffer(minCapacity).

This function must be called in a matched pair with getBuffer(minCapacity). releaseBuffer(newLength) must be called if and only if a getBuffer(minCapacity) is "open".

It will set the string length to newLength, at most to the current capacity. If newLength==-1 then it will set the length according to the first NUL in the buffer, or to the capacity if there is no NUL.

After calling releaseBuffer(newLength) the UnicodeString is back to normal operation.

Parameters

  newLength | the new length of the UnicodeString object; defaults to the current capacity if newLength is greater than that; if newLength==-1, it defaults to u_strlen(buffer) but not more than the current capacity of the string

UnicodeString& icu::UnicodeString::setTo | ( | UBool | isTerminated,
|  | ConstChar16Ptr | text,
|  | int32_t | textLength
| ) |  |

Aliasing setTo() function, analogous to the readonly-aliasing char16_t* constructor.

The text will be used for the UnicodeString object, but it will not be released when the UnicodeString is destroyed. This has copy-on-write semantics: When the string is modified, then the buffer is first copied into newly allocated memory. The aliased buffer is never modified.

In an assignment to another UnicodeString, when using the copy constructor or the assignment operator, the text will be copied. When using fastCopyFrom(), the text will be aliased again, so that both strings then alias the same readonly-text.

Parameters

  isTerminated | specifies if `text` is `NUL`-terminated. This must be true if `textLength==-1`.
  text | The characters to alias for the UnicodeString.
  textLength | The number of Unicode characters in `text` to alias. If -1, then this constructor will determine the length by calling `u_strlen()`.

Returns
  a reference to this

UnicodeString& icu::UnicodeString::setTo | ( | char16_t * | buffer,
|  | int32_t | buffLength,
|  | int32_t | buffCapacity
| ) |  |

Aliasing setTo() function, analogous to the writable-aliasing char16_t* constructor.

The text will be used for the UnicodeString object, but it will not be released when the UnicodeString is destroyed. This has write-through semantics: For as long as the capacity of the buffer is sufficient, write operations will directly affect the buffer. When more capacity is necessary, then a new buffer will be allocated and the contents copied as with regularly constructed strings. In an assignment to another UnicodeString, the buffer will be copied. The extract(Char16Ptr dst) function detects whether the dst pointer is the same as the string buffer itself and will in this case not copy the contents.

Parameters

  buffer | The characters to alias for the UnicodeString.
  buffLength | The number of Unicode characters in `buffer` to alias.
  buffCapacity | The size of `buffer` in char16_ts.

Returns
  a reference to this

void icu::UnicodeString::setToBogus | ( |  | ) |

Make this UnicodeString object invalid.

The string will test TRUE with isBogus().

A bogus string has no value. It is different from an empty string. It can be used to indicate that no string value is available. getBuffer() and getTerminatedBuffer() return NULL, and length() returns 0.

This utility function is used throughout the UnicodeString implementation to indicate that a UnicodeString operation failed, and may be used in other functions, especially but not exclusively when such functions do not take a UErrorCode for simplicity.

The following methods, and no others, will clear a string object's bogus flag:

- remove()
- remove(0, INT32_MAX)
- truncate(0)
- operator=() (assignment operator)
- setTo(...)

The simplest ways to turn a bogus string into an empty one is to use the remove() function. Examples for other functions that are equivalent to "set to empty string":

if(s.isBogus()) {
s.remove(); // set to an empty string (remove all), or
s.remove(0, INT32_MAX); // set to an empty string (remove all), or
s.truncate(0); // set to an empty string (complete truncation), or
s=UnicodeString(); // assign an empty string, or
s.setTo((UChar32)-1); // set to a pseudo code point that is out of range, or
static const char16_t nul=0;
s.setTo(&nul, 0); // set to an empty C Unicode string
}

UnicodeString icu::UnicodeString::tempSubString | ( | int32_t | start = `0`,
|  | int32_t | length = `INT32_MAX`
| ) |  | const

Create a temporary substring for the specified range.

Unlike the substring constructor and setTo() functions, the object returned here will be a read-only alias (using getBuffer()) rather than copying the text. As a result, this substring operation is much faster but requires that the original string not be modified or deleted during the lifetime of the returned substring object.

Parameters

  start | offset of the first character visible in the substring
  length | length of the substring

Returns
  a read-only alias UnicodeString object for the substring

UnicodeString& icu::UnicodeString::toTitle | ( | BreakIterator * | titleIter | ) |

Titlecase this string, convenience function using the default locale.

Casing is locale-dependent and context-sensitive. Titlecasing uses a break iterator to find the first characters of words that are to be titlecased. It titlecases those characters and lowercases all others.

The titlecase break iterator can be provided to customize for arbitrary styles, using rules and dictionaries beyond the standard iterators. It may be more efficient to always provide an iterator to avoid opening and closing one for each string. The standard titlecase iterator for the root locale implements the algorithm of Unicode TR 21.

This function uses only the setText(), first() and next() methods of the provided break iterator.

Parameters

  titleIter | A break iterator to find the first characters of words that are to be titlecased. If none is provided (0), then a standard titlecase break iterator is opened. Otherwise the provided iterator is set to the string's text.

UnicodeString icu::UnicodeString::unescape | ( |  | ) | const

Unescape a string of characters and return a string containing the result.

The following escape sequences are recognized:

\uhhhh 4 hex digits; h in [0-9A-Fa-f] \Uhhhhhhhh 8 hex digits \xhh 1-2 hex digits \ooo 1-3 octal digits; o in [0-7] \cX control-X; X is masked with 0x1F

as well as the standard ANSI C escapes:

\a => U+0007, \b => U+0008, \t => U+0009, \n => U+000A, \v => U+000B, \f => U+000C, \r => U+000D, \e => U+001B, \" => U+0022, \' => U+0027, \? => U+003F, \\ => U+005C

Anything else following a backslash is generically escaped. For example, "[a\\-z]" returns "[a-z]".

If an escape sequence is ill-formed, this method returns an empty string. An example of an ill-formed sequence is "\\u" followed by fewer than 4 hex digits.

This function is similar to u_unescape() but not identical to it. The latter takes a source char*, so it does escape recognition and also invariant conversion.

Returns
  a string with backslash escapes interpreted, or an empty string on error.

UChar32 icu::UnicodeString::unescapeAt | ( | int32_t & | offset | ) | const

Unescape a single escape sequence and return the represented character.

See unescape() for a listing of the recognized escape sequences. The character at offset-1 is assumed (without checking) to be a backslash. If the escape sequence is ill-formed, or the offset is out of range, U_SENTINEL=-1 is returned.

Parameters

  offset | an input output parameter. On input, it is the offset into this string where the escape sequence is located, after the initial backslash. On output, it is advanced after the last character parsed. On error, it is not advanced at all.

Returns
  the character represented by the escape sequence at offset, or U_SENTINEL=-1 on error.
