[in]	find	The entry to search for.

unsigned int convertCodePointToUTF8	(	long	codepoint,
		char *	out
	)

Converts the bits in a long integer representing a Unicode code point to a series of one or more bytes representing a UTF-8 character.

Returns:

The number of characters in the converted multi-byte character.

Return values:

0

An invalid Unicode code point was supplied.

Parameters:

[in]	codepoint	The Unicode code point to convert to UTF-8.
[out]	out	A pointer to the location to store the resulting UTF-8 bytes.

long convertNormativeNameToCodePoint

(

const char *

name

)

Converts a Unicode normative name to a Unicode code point.

Returns:
