Documentation
encode :: String -> [Word8] Source #
Encode a Haskell String
to a list of Word8
values, in UTF8 format.
decode :: [Word8] -> String Source #
Decode a UTF8 string packed into a list of Word8
values, directly to String
encodeString :: String -> String Source #
Encode a string using encode
and store the result in a String
.
decodeString :: String -> String Source #
Decode a string using decode
using a String
as input.
This is not safe but it is necessary if UTF-8 encoded text
has been loaded into a String
prior to being decoded.
encodeChar :: Char -> [Word8] Source #
Encode a single Haskell Char
to a list of Word8
values, in UTF8 format.
isUTF8Encoded :: String -> Bool Source #
isUTF8Encoded str
tries to recognize input string as being in UTF-8 form.
utf8Encode :: String -> String Source #
utf8Encode str
is a convenience function; checks to see if
str
isn't UTF-8 encoded before doing so. Sometimes useful, but
you are better off keeping track of the encoding so as to avoid
the cost of checking.
