llChar

string llChar(integer value)

Returns a single character string that is the representation of the unicode value.

Parameters

value (integer): Unicode value to convert into a string.

Technical Details

Return Type: string
Energy: 10

This function returns a single character string generated from the character at the indicated UTF-32 codepoint. If the value is negative, the codepoint has no valid single-character UTF-16 representation (such as a part of a surrogate pair), or is outside the defined range, the Unicode replacement character ”�” (0xFFFD) is returned. If the value is 0, an empty string is returned.

Examples

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        string test_string = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog";
        list test_list = [];
        string test_string2 = "";

        integer index;
        integer ord;
        for (index = 0; index < llStringLength(test_string); ++index)
        {
            ord = llOrd(test_string, index);
            test_list = test_list + [ ord ];
        }

        string char;
        for (index = 0; index < llGetListLength(test_list); ++index)
        {
            ord = llList2Integer(test_list, index);
            char = llChar(ord);
            test_string2 = test_string2 + char;
        }

        llSay(0, "\"" + test_string + "\" -> [" +
            llDumpList2String(test_list, ", ") + "] -> \"" + test_string2 + "\"");
    }
}

This example demonstrates the inverse relationship between llChar and llOrd. It converts a string to a list of Unicode codepoints, then reconstructs the original string using llChar.
