From Str
(Str) routine uniparse
sub uniparse(Str --> Str)method uniparse(Str : --> Str)
Takes string with comma-separated Unicode names of characters and returns a string composed of those characters. Will fail
if any of the characters' names are empty or not recognized. Whitespace around character names is ignored.
say "I Perl"; # OUTPUT: «I 💕 Perl»'TWO HEARTS, BUTTERFLY'.uniparse.say; # OUTPUT: «💕🦋»
Note that unlike \c[...]
construct available in string interpolation, uniparse
does not accept decimal numerical values. Use chr routine to convert those:
say "\c[1337]"; # OUTPUT: «Թ»say '1337'.chr; # OUTPUT: «Թ»
Note: before being standardized in 2017.12, this routine was known under its working name of parse-names. This denomination will be removed in the 6.e version.
