Converts between different UTF formats (plus text and R/LACE compression), and performs NamePrep.

Input

• Type in the large input box.

• The Input format lets you pick:

  • Text

  • UTFs

    • UTF-8

    • UTF-16M ("in memory form")

    • UTF-16BE (serialized big endian)

    • UTF-32M ("in memory form")

    • UTF-32BE (serialized big endian)

  • ACEs

    • RACE

    • LACE

• The Samples list lets you add sample text for testing, as in the picture on the left. (See Caveats)

  • For more samples, see Unicod Transcriptions.

Converting

• Clicking on the Arrow or any of the menu items will do a conversion.

• Errors are shown under each box.

Output

• The Output format lets you pick text, UTFs, or ACEs

• You can also choose to do NamePrep (or not)

• The Base menu lets you pick a radix (only applicable if numeric results are displayed)

• The Pattern lets you add text before and after numeric results, signified by '@'. For example,

  • &#x@; will produce text of the form "ሴ

  • \u@ will produce text of the form "\u1234"

  • If you have a pattern of the form x@y@z, the result for the three integers 1234, 2345, and 3456 will be x1234y2345y3456z. That is, y is an infix, and x and z are prefix and suffix.

Round-Trip

• This box shows a round-trip mapping back from the Output box.

  • Currently this doesn't work if Radix ≠ 16 or Pattern ≠ "@ "

Caveats

• Uses Javascript, so that has to be enabled.

• If you are using Text, the browser has to be Unicode-enabled, and you have to have Unicode fonts if you want to see the results. See Display Problems.
