System Function UCS
From NARS2000
Universal Character Set - ⎕UCS (System Function) - available in monadic form only,
but with TWO different types of argument calls:
Monadic Function
|
||||
R is 1) a character scalar or character String OR 2) scalar integer or set of Integers to enumerate. | ||||
Z is a scalar or vector of results(integer or string, inverse of call. |
Examples, working with ⎕UCS:
⎕UCS 'ABC' ⍝Type 1(CHAR string) - Locate index positions for letters A, B and C in the Universal Character Set. 65 66 67 ⍝Letters A, B and C FOUND at index positions 65, 66 and 67 in ⎕UCS. ⍴⎕UCS 'ABC' ⍝Determine the shape of the result of the call to UCS. 3 ⎕AV⍳"ABC" ⍝Comparable call to ⎕AV using Iota, but the same letters("ABC"). 66 67 68 ⍝>> 66 67 68 << using ⎕AV versus >> 65 66 67 << using ⎕UCS - similar, but NOT identical results. ⎕UCS 65 66 67 68 69 ⍝Type 2(INTEGERS vector) - Find characters associated with integer positions in Universal Character Set. ABCDE ⍝Letters A, B, C, D and E 'ABCDE' returned, as a string. ⍴⎕UCS 65 66 67 68 69 ⍝Determine the shape of the result. 5 ⎕UCS "012345⍴⍳6789" ⍝Another character string - with digits, rho(⍴) and iota(⍳) - also enumerated. 48 49 50 51 52 53 9076 9075 54 55 56 57 ⍝Note how Rho and Iota are much higher in the UCS than letters and digit-characters.
