IntlChar::charAge

(PHP 7)

IntlChar::charAge — Get the "age" of the code point

Description

public static array IntlChar::charAge ( mixed $codepoint )

Gets the "age" of the code point.

The "age" is the Unicode version when the code point was first designated (as a non-character or for Private Use) or assigned a character. This can be useful to avoid emitting code points to receiving processes that do not accept newer characters.

Parameters

codepoint

The integer codepoint value (e.g. 0x2603 for U+2603 SNOWMAN), or the character encoded as a UTF-8 string (e.g. "\u{2603}")

Return Values

The Unicode version number, as an array. For example, version 1.3.31.2 would be represented as 1, 3, 31, 2.

Examples

Example #1 Testing different code points

<?php var_dump(IntlChar::charage("\u{2603}") var_dump(IntlChar::charage("\u{1F576}") ?>

The above example will output:

array(4) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(1) [2]=> int(0) [3]=> int(0) } array(4) { [0]=> int(7) [1]=> int(0) [2]=> int(0) [3]=> int(0) }
