Re: Custom algorithmic converters?

[George R. <gr...@us...>]

I presume that you meant u=5Funescape instead of u=5Fescape.  Have you also=
=20
tried UnicodeString::unescape() or the hex-any transliterator?  Those=20
would probably be better suited for your task.  u=5Funescape is meant more =

for simple C strings in code.

Custom algorithmic converters?






Hello,

I have a file that has \uXXXX escaped characters. I want to perform a
streaming conversion to UTF-16. How? The u=5Fescape function will segv for
non-null terminated text, so that function is out of the question. I do
not believe that there is an existing converter that will do this
conversion automatically (correct?). The only other technique I can
think of is to roll out my own converter. If I were to write this as an
algorithmic converter, is there a way of registering and installing it
at runtime with ICU so that I may open one using ucnv=5Fopen?
