Function

GLibunichar_compose

since: 2.30

Declaration [src]

gboolean
g_unichar_compose (
  gunichar a,
  gunichar b,
  gunichar* ch
)

Description [src]

Performs a single composition step of the Unicode canonical composition algorithm.

This function includes algorithmic Hangul Jamo composition, but it is not exactly the inverse of g_unichar_decompose(). No composition can have either of a or b equal to zero. To be precise, this function composes if and only if there exists a Primary Composite P which is canonically equivalent to the sequence <a,b>. See the Unicode Standard for the definition of Primary Composite.

If a and b do not compose a new character, ch is set to zero.

See UAX#15 for details.

Available since: 2.30

Parameters

a

Type: gunichar

b

Type: gunichar

A Unicode character.

ch

Type: gunichar*

Return location for the composed character.

The argument will be set by the function.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if the characters could be composed.
