IsSurrogatePair(Char, Char)
- Source:
- Char.cs
- Source:
- Char.cs
- Source:
- Char.cs
Indicates whether the two specified Char objects form a surrogate pair.
public:
static bool IsSurrogatePair(char highSurrogate, char lowSurrogate);
public static bool IsSurrogatePair (char highSurrogate, char lowSurrogate);
static member IsSurrogatePair : char * char -> bool
Public Shared Function IsSurrogatePair (highSurrogate As Char, lowSurrogate As Char) As Boolean
Parameters
- highSurrogate
- Char
The character to evaluate as the high surrogate of a surrogate pair.
- lowSurrogate
- Char
The character to evaluate as the low surrogate of a surrogate pair.
Returns
true
if the numeric value of the highSurrogate
parameter ranges from U+D800 through U+DBFF, and the numeric value of the lowSurrogate
parameter ranges from U+DC00 through U+DFFF; otherwise, false
.
Remarks
Ordinarily, a single character is represented by a single 16-bit Unicode code unit. UTF-16 encoding also supports surrogate pairs, which allow a single abstract character to be represented by two 16-bit code units. The first code unit, whose value can range from U+D800 to U+DBFF, is the high surrogate. The second code unit, whose value can range from U+DC00 to U+DFFF, is the low surrogate. Individual surrogate code points have no interpretation of their own. For more information about surrogates and the Unicode Standard, see the Unicode home page.

IsSurrogatePair(String, Int32)
- Source:

- Source:

- Source:

Indicates whether two adjacent Char objects at a specified position in a string form a surrogate pair.
public:
static bool IsSurrogatePair(System::String ^ s, int index);
public static bool IsSurrogatePair (string s, int index);
static member IsSurrogatePair : string * int -> bool
Public Shared Function IsSurrogatePair (s As String, index As Integer) As Boolean
Parameters
- s
- String
A string.
- index
- Int32
The starting position of the pair of characters to evaluate within s
.
Returns
true
if the s
parameter includes adjacent characters at positions index
and index
+ 1, and the numeric value of the character at position index
ranges from U+D800 through U+DBFF, and the numeric value of the character at position index
+1 ranges from U+DC00 through U+DFFF; otherwise, false
.
Exceptions
s
is null
.
index
is not a position within s
