Examples

This example uses the GetTextElementEnumerator and ParseCombiningCharacters methods of the StringInfo class to manipulate a string that contains surrogate and combining characters.

    // method to examine each real character.

Remarks

.NET defines a text element as a unit of text that is displayed as a single character, that is, a grapheme. A text element can be a base character, a surrogate pair, or a combining character sequence. The Unicode Standard defines a surrogate pair as a coded character representation for a single abstract character that consists of a sequence of two code units, where the first unit of the pair is a high surrogate and the second is a low surrogate. The Unicode Standard defines a combining character sequence as a combination of a base character and one or more combining characters. A surrogate pair can represent a base character or a combining character.

The StringInfo class enables you to work with a string as a series of textual elements rather than individual Char objects.

To instantiate a StringInfo object that represents a specified string, you can do either of the following:

You can work with the individual text elements in a string in two ways:

The following example illustrates both ways of working with the text elements in a string. It creates two strings:

  • strCombining, which is a string of Arabic characters that includes three text elements with multiple Char objects. The first text element is the base character ARABIC LETTER ALEF (U+0627) followed by ARABIC HAMZA BELOW (U+0655) and ARABIC KASRA (U+0650). The second text element is ARABIC LETTER HEH (U+0647) followed by ARABIC FATHA (U+064E). The third text element is ARABIC LETTER BEH (U+0628) followed by ARABIC DAMMATAN (U+064C).

  • strSurrogates, which is a string that includes three surrogate pairs: GREEK ACROPHONIC FIVE TALENTS (U+10148) from the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, U+20026 from the Supplementary Ideographic Plane, and U+F1001 from the private user area. The UTF-16 encoding of each character is a surrogate pair that consists of a high surrogate followed by a low surrogate.

Each string is parsed once by the ParseCombiningCharacters method and then by the GetTextElementEnumerator method. Both methods correctly parse the text elements in the two strings and display the results of the parsing operation.

Notes to Callers

Internally, the methods of the StringInfo class call the methods of the CharUnicodeInfo class to determine character categories. Starting with the .NET Framework 4.6.2, character classification is based on The Unicode Standard, Version 8.0.0. For the .NET Framework 4 through the .NET Framework 4.6.1, it is based on The Unicode Standard, Version 6.3.0. In .NET Core, it is based on The Unicode Standard, Version 8.0.0.
