Codepoint

Data Type	Description
Codepoint	Unicode codepoints are 16-bit numbers, usually expressed in hexidecimal, that represent a unique character (e.g. 0x2122 for the ™ symbol). In SHIP there is no explicit Codepoint type, and Integers are commonly used to store/manipulate codepoints as unsigned values.

Examples

Examples of codepoints:

• 0x1 - codepoint 0x0001
• #12F4 - codepoint 0x12F4
• 12F4 - invalid, since 12F4 is not a valid decimal number and is not prefixed by # or 0x indicating it would be a hex value
• 0x12 - codepoint 0x0012
• 0x12345 - invalid... greater than 65535
• 0x1234 - codepoint 0x1234
• 1234 - codepoint decimal 1234, hex 0x04D2
