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.
