init(_:)

Creates a Unicode scalar with the specified numeric value.

Declaration

init?(_ v: Int)

Parameters

  • v:

    The Unicode code point to use for the scalar. v must be a valid Unicode scalar value, in the ranges 0...0xD7FF or 0xE000...0x10FFFF. In case of an invalid unicode scalar value, nil is returned.

Discussion

For example, the following code sample creates a Unicode.Scalar instance with a value of an emoji character:

let codepoint = 127881
let emoji = Unicode.Scalar(codepoint)!
print(emoji)
// Prints "🎉"

In case of an invalid input value, nil is returned.

let codepoint: UInt32 = extValue // This might be an invalid value.
if let emoji = Unicode.Scalar(codepoint) {
  print(emoji)
} else {
  // Do something else
}
