# Primitive Type char 1.0.0 [−]

A character type.

The `char` type represents a single character. More specifically, since 'character' isn't a well-defined concept in Unicode, `char` is a 'Unicode scalar value', which is similar to, but not the same as, a 'Unicode code point'.

This documentation describes a number of methods and trait implementations on the `char` type. For technical reasons, there is additional, separate documentation in the `std::char` module as well.

# Representation

`char` is always four bytes in size. This is a different representation than a given character would have as part of a `String`. For example:

    let v = vec!['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'];

    // five elements times four bytes for each element
    assert_eq!(20, v.len() * std::mem::size_of::<char>());

    let s = String::from("hello");

    // five elements times one byte per element
    assert_eq!(5, s.len() * std::mem::size_of::<u8>());Run

As always, remember that a human intuition for 'character' may not map to Unicode's definitions. For example, emoji symbols such as '❤️' can be more than one Unicode code point; this ❤️ in particular is two:

    let s = String::from("❤️");

    // we get two chars out of a single ❤️
    let mut iter = s.chars();
    assert_eq!(Some('\u{2764}'), iter.next());
    assert_eq!(Some('\u{fe0f}'), iter.next());
    assert_eq!(None, iter.next());Run

This means it won't fit into a `char`. Trying to create a literal with `let heart = '❤️';` gives an error:

    error: character literal may only contain one codepoint: '❤
    let heart = '❤️';
                ^~

Another implication of the 4-byte fixed size of a `char` is that per-`char` processing can end up using a lot more memory:

    let s = String::from("love: ❤️");
    let v: Vec<char> = s.chars().collect();

    assert_eq!(12, s.len() * std::mem::size_of::<u8>());
    assert_eq!(32, v.len() * std::mem::size_of::<char>());Run

## Methods

### `impl char`
[src]

#### `fn is_digit(self, radix: u32) -> bool`
[src]

Checks if a `char` is a digit in the given radix.

A 'radix' here is sometimes also called a 'base'. A radix of two indicates a binary number, a radix of ten, decimal, and a radix of sixteen, hexadecimal, to give some common values. Arbitrary radices are supported.

Compared to `is_numeric()`, this function only recognizes the characters `0-9`, `a-z` and `A-Z`.

'Digit' is defined to be only the following characters:

- `0-9`
- `a-z`
- `A-Z`

For a more comprehensive understanding of 'digit', see `is_numeric`.

# Panics

Panics if given a radix larger than 36.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    assert!('1'.is_digit(10));
    assert!('f'.is_digit(16));
    assert!(!'f'.is_digit(10));Run

Passing a large radix, causing a panic:

    use std::thread;

    let result = thread::spawn(|| {
        // this panics
        '1'.is_digit(37);
    }).join();

    assert!(result.is_err());Run

#### `fn to_digit(self, radix: u32) -> Option<u32>`
[src]

Converts a `char` to a digit in the given radix.

A 'radix' here is sometimes also called a 'base'. A radix of two indicates a binary number, a radix of ten, decimal, and a radix of sixteen, hexadecimal, to give some common values. Arbitrary radices are supported.

'Digit' is defined to be only the following characters:

- `0-9`
- `a-z`
- `A-Z`

# Errors

Returns `None` if the `char` does not refer to a digit in the given radix.

# Panics

Panics if given a radix larger than 36.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    assert_eq!('1'.to_digit(10), Some(1));
    assert_eq!('f'.to_digit(16), Some(15));Run

Passing a non-digit results in failure:

    assert_eq!('f'.to_digit(10), None);
    assert_eq!('z'.to_digit(16), None);Run

Passing a large radix, causing a panic:

    use std::thread;

    let result = thread::spawn(|| {
        '1'.to_digit(37);
    }).join();

    assert!(result.is_err());Run

#### `fn escape_unicode(self) -> EscapeUnicode`
[src]

Returns an iterator that yields the hexadecimal Unicode escape of a character as `char`s.

This will escape characters with the Rust syntax of the form `\u{NNNNNN}` where `NNNNNN` is a hexadecimal representation.

# Examples

As an iterator:

    for c in '❤'.escape_unicode() {
        print!("{}", c);
    }
    println!();Run

Using `println!` directly:

    println!("{}", '❤'.escape_unicode());Run

Both are equivalent to:

    println!("\\u{{2764}}");Run

Using `to_string`:

    assert_eq!('❤'.escape_unicode().to_string(), "\\u{2764}");Run

#### `fn escape_debug(self) -> EscapeDebug`
1.20.0
[src]

Returns an iterator that yields the literal escape code of a character as `char`s.

This will escape the characters similar to the `Debug` implementations of `str` or `char`.

# Examples

As an iterator:

    for c in '\n'.escape_debug() {
        print!("{}", c);
    }
    println!();Run

Using `println!` directly:

    println!("{}", '\n'.escape_debug());Run

Both are equivalent to:

    println!("\\n");Run

Using `to_string`:

    assert_eq!('\n'.escape_debug().to_string(), "\\n");Run

#### `fn escape_default(self) -> EscapeDefault`
[src]

Returns an iterator that yields the literal escape code of a character as `char`s.

The default is chosen with a bias toward producing literals that are legal in a variety of languages, including C++11 and similar C-family languages. The exact rules are:

- Tab is escaped as `\t`.
- Carriage return is escaped as `\r`.
- Line feed is escaped as `\n`.
- Single quote is escaped as `\'`.
- Double quote is escaped as `\"`.
- Backslash is escaped as `\\`.
- Any character in the 'printable ASCII' range `0x20` .. `0x7e` inclusive is not escaped.
- All other characters are given hexadecimal Unicode escapes; see `escape_unicode`.

# Examples

As an iterator:

    for c in '"'.escape_default() {
        print!("{}", c);
    }
    println!();Run

Using `println!` directly:

    println!("{}", '"'.escape_default());Run

Both are equivalent to:

    println!("\\\"");Run

Using `to_string`:

    assert_eq!('"'.escape_default().to_string(), "\\\"");Run

#### `fn len_utf8(self) -> usize`
[src]

Returns the number of bytes this `char` would need if encoded in UTF-8.

That number of bytes is always between 1 and 4, inclusive.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    let len = 'A'.len_utf8();
    assert_eq!(len, 1);

    let len = 'ß'.len_utf8();
    assert_eq!(len, 2);

    let len = 'ℝ'.len_utf8();
    assert_eq!(len, 3);

    let len = '💣'.len_utf8();
    assert_eq!(len, 4);Run

The `&str` type guarantees that its contents are UTF-8, and so we can compare the length it would take if each code point was represented as a `char` vs in the `&str` itself:

    // as chars
    let eastern = '東';
    let capitol = '京';

    // both can be represented as three bytes
    assert_eq!(3, eastern.len_utf8());
    assert_eq!(3, capitol.len_utf8());

    // as a &str, these two are encoded in UTF-8
    let tokyo = "東京";

    let len = eastern.len_utf8() + capitol.len_utf8();

    // we can see that they take six bytes total...
    assert_eq!(6, tokyo.len());

    // ... just like the &str
    assert_eq!(len, tokyo.len());Run

#### `fn len_utf16(self) -> usize`
[src]

Returns the number of 16-bit code units this `char` would need if encoded in UTF-16.

See the documentation for `len_utf8` for more explanation of this concept. This function is a mirror, but for UTF-16 instead of UTF-8.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    let n = 'ß'.len_utf16();
    assert_eq!(n, 1);

    let len = '💣'.len_utf16();
    assert_eq!(len, 2);Run

#### `fn encode_utf8(self, dst: &mut [u8]) -> &mut str`
1.15.0
[src]

Encodes this character as UTF-8 into the provided byte buffer, and then returns the subslice of the buffer that contains the encoded character.

# Panics

Panics if the buffer is not large enough. A buffer of length four is large enough to encode any `char`.

# Examples

In both of these examples, 'ß' takes two bytes to encode.

    let mut b = [0; 2];

    let result = 'ß'.encode_utf8(&mut b);

    assert_eq!(result, "ß");

    assert_eq!(result.len(), 2);Run

A buffer that's too small:

    use std::thread;

    let result = thread::spawn(|| {
        let mut b = [0; 1];

        // this panics
       'ß'.encode_utf8(&mut b);
    }).join();

    assert!(result.is_err());Run

#### `fn encode_utf16(self, dst: &mut [u16]) -> &mut [u16]`
1.15.0
[src]

Encodes this character as UTF-16 into the provided `u16` buffer, and then returns the subslice of the buffer that contains the encoded character.

# Panics

Panics if the buffer is not large enough. A buffer of length 2 is large enough to encode any `char`.

# Examples

In both of these examples, '𝕊' takes two `u16`s to encode.

    let mut b = [0; 2];

    let result = '𝕊'.encode_utf16(&mut b);

    assert_eq!(result.len(), 2);Run

A buffer that's too small:

    use std::thread;

    let result = thread::spawn(|| {
        let mut b = [0; 1];

        // this panics
        '𝕊'.encode_utf16(&mut b);
    }).join();

    assert!(result.is_err());Run

#### `fn is_alphabetic(self) -> bool`
[src]

Returns true if this `char` is an alphabetic code point, and false if not.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    assert!('a'.is_alphabetic());
    assert!('京'.is_alphabetic());

    let c = '💝';
    // love is many things, but it is not alphabetic
    assert!(!c.is_alphabetic());Run

#### `fn is_xid_start(self) -> bool`
[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`rustc_private` #27812)

mainly needed for compiler internals

'Lowercase' is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived Core Property `Lowercase`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    assert!('a'.is_lowercase());
    assert!('δ'.is_lowercase());
    assert!(!'A'.is_lowercase());
    assert!(!'Δ'.is_lowercase());

    // The various Chinese scripts do not have case, and so:
    assert!(!'中'.is_lowercase());Run

#### `fn is_uppercase(self) -> bool`
[src]

Returns true if this `char` is uppercase, and false otherwise.

'Uppercase' is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived Core Property `Uppercase`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    assert!(!'a'.is_uppercase());
    assert!(!'δ'.is_uppercase());
    assert!('A'.is_uppercase());
    assert!('Δ'.is_uppercase());

    // The various Chinese scripts do not have case, and so:
    assert!(!'中'.is_uppercase());Run

#### `fn is_whitespace(self) -> bool`
[src]

Returns true if this `char` is whitespace, and false otherwise.

'Whitespace' is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived Core Property `White_Space`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    assert!(' '.is_whitespace());

    // a non-breaking space
    assert!('\u{A0}'.is_whitespace());

    assert!(!'越'.is_whitespace());Run

#### `fn is_alphanumeric(self) -> bool`

    assert!('K'.is_alphanumeric());
    assert!('و'.is_alphanumeric());
    assert!('藏'.is_alphanumeric());
    assert!(!'¾'.is_alphanumeric());
    assert!(!'①'.is_alphanumeric());Run

#### `fn is_control(self) -> bool`
[src]

Returns true if this `char` is a control code point, and false otherwise.

'Control code point' is defined in terms of the Unicode General Category `Cc`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    // U+009C, STRING TERMINATOR
    assert!(''.is_control());
    assert!(!'q'.is_control());Run

#### `fn is_numeric(self) -> bool`
[src]

Returns true if this `char` is numeric, and false otherwise.

'Numeric'-ness is defined in terms of the Unicode General Categories 'Nd', 'Nl', 'No'.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    assert!('٣'.is_numeric());
    assert!('7'.is_numeric());
    assert!('৬'.is_numeric());
    assert!(!'K'.is_numeric());
    assert!(!'و'.is_numeric());
    assert!(!'藏'.is_numeric());
    assert!(!'¾'.is_numeric());
    assert!(!'①'.is_numeric());Run

#### `fn to_lowercase(self) -> ToLowercase`
[src]

Returns an iterator that yields the lowercase equivalent of a `char` as one or more `char`s.

If a character does not have a lowercase equivalent, the same character will be returned back by the iterator.

This performs complex unconditional mappings with no tailoring: it maps one Unicode character to its lowercase equivalent according to the Unicode database and the additional complex mappings `SpecialCasing.txt`. Conditional mappings (based on context or language) are not considered here.

For a full reference, see here.

# Examples

As an iterator:

    for c in 'İ'.to_lowercase() {
        print!("{}", c);
    }
    println!();Run

Using `println!` directly:

    println!("{}", 'İ'.to_lowercase());Run

Both are equivalent to:

    println!("i\u{307}");Run

Using `to_string`:

    assert_eq!('C'.to_lowercase().to_string(), "c");

    // Sometimes the result is more than one character:
    assert_eq!('İ'.to_lowercase().to_string(), "i\u{307}");

    // Characters that do not have both uppercase and lowercase
    // convert into themselves.
    assert_eq!('山'.to_lowercase().to_string(), "山");Run

#### `fn to_uppercase(self) -> ToUppercase`
[src]

Returns an iterator that yields the uppercase equivalent of a `char` as one or more `char`s.

If a character does not have an uppercase equivalent, the same character will be returned back by the iterator.

This performs complex unconditional mappings with no tailoring: it maps one Unicode character to its uppercase equivalent according to the Unicode database and the additional complex mappings `SpecialCasing.txt`. Conditional mappings (based on context or language) are not considered here.

For a full reference, see here.

# Examples

As an iterator:

    for c in 'ß'.to_uppercase() {
        print!("{}", c);
    }
    println!();Run

Using `println!` directly:

    println!("{}", 'ß'.to_uppercase());Run

Both are equivalent to:

    println!("SS");Run

Using `to_string`:

    assert_eq!('c'.to_uppercase().to_string(), "C");

    // Sometimes the result is more than one character:
    assert_eq!('ß'.to_uppercase().to_string(), "SS");

    // Characters that do not have both uppercase and lowercase
    // convert into themselves.
    assert_eq!('山'.to_uppercase().to_string(), "山");Run

# Note on locale

In Turkish, the equivalent of 'i' in Latin has five forms instead of two:

- 'Dotless': I / ı, sometimes written ï
- 'Dotted': İ / i

Note that the lowercase dotted 'i' is the same as the Latin. Therefore:

    let upper_i = 'i'.to_uppercase().to_string();Run

The value of `upper_i` here relies on the language of the text: if we're in `en-US`, it should be `"I"`, but if we're in `tr_TR`, it should be `"İ"`. `to_uppercase()` does not take this into account, and so:

    let upper_i = 'i'.to_uppercase().to_string();

    assert_eq!(upper_i, "I");Run

holds across languages.

### `impl From<u8> for char`
1.13.0
[src]

Maps a byte in 0x00...0xFF to a `char` whose code point has the same value, in U+0000 to U+00FF.

Unicode is designed such that this effectively decodes bytes with the character encoding that IANA calls ISO-8859-1. This encoding is compatible with ASCII.

Note that this is different from ISO/IEC 8859-1 a.k.a. ISO 8859-1 (with one less hyphen), which leaves some "blanks", byte values that are not assigned to any character. ISO-8859-1 (the IANA one) assigns them to the C0 and C1 control codes.

Note that this is also different from Windows-1252 a.k.a. code page 1252, which is a superset ISO/IEC 8859-1 that assigns some (not all!) blanks to punctuation and various Latin characters.

To confuse things further, on the Web `ascii`, `iso-8859-1`, and `windows-1252` are all aliases for a superset of Windows-1252 that fills the remaining blanks with corresponding C0 and C1 control codes.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
