Overview:
- Given the string representation of a Unicode character the function returns the corresponding numeric value. This numeric value is also called a code point.
- The function chr() does the opposite of mod() function. Given a code point it returns the string containing the unicode character.
Example:
| # Example Python program that gets the codepoint # for a given unicode character char = "ア" codepoint = ord(char) print("The unicode chracter:%s"%char) print("Corresponding codepoint:%d"%codepoint) print("Codepoint as a hexadecimal number:%s"%hex(codepoint)) |
Output:
|
The unicode chracter:ア Corresponding codepoint:12450 Codepoint as a hexadecimal number:0x30a2 |
