Struct encoding::codec::utf_16::UTF16Encoding
[−]
[src]
pub struct UTF16Encoding<E> { // some fields omitted }
UTF-16 (UCS Transformation Format, 16-bit).
This is a Unicode encoding where one codepoint may use 2 (up to U+FFFF) or 4 bytes (up to U+10FFFF) depending on its value. It uses a "surrogate" mechanism to encode non-BMP codepoints, which are represented as a pair of lower surrogate and upper surrogate characters. In this effect, surrogate characters (U+D800..DFFF) cannot appear alone and cannot be included in a valid Unicode string.
Specialization
This type is specialized with endianness type E
,
which should be either Little
(little endian) or Big
(big endian).
