Anyone interested in a hobby project for the weekend?

A simple Unicode code point converter.

Available font style to choose from:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


For example, user type the input and get the output:
QUOTE
This is something great!
Hopefully more is coming...


Output:
QUOTE
๐‘ป๐’‰๐’Š๐’” ๐’Š๐’” ๐’”๐’๐’Ž๐’†๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ ๐’ˆ๐’“๐’†๐’‚๐’•!
๐‘ฏ๐’๐’‘๐’†๐’‡๐’–๐’๐’๐’š ๐’Ž๐’๐’“๐’† ๐’Š๐’” ๐’„๐’๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ...


You can choose only one Unicode font style to try.
Of course there are already many similar tool on the Internet, like : https://texteditor.com/font-converter/

But treat this as a practise and learning process if you don't already know.

I tried it successfully yesterday.

You can let user type in text box and convert to another text box, or take in a input text file, and write to another output text file.
I hope it is fun.

Oh wow, very clever of you, it is eye-opening you did it this way... unlike me, used the hard way to encode UTF-8. sweat.gif

Thumbs up for your discordbot, might join again to try it! laugh.gif

Your code for this simple Unicode conversion task is much welcomed.

------

In the mean time, I uploaded my program (with source code) to here, it reads from text content in input.txt, and convert to Unicode font in output.txt. Just double click unicode.exe will do. No command-line parameter required.

Enjoy! flex.gif

I am thinking to create a Simplified <--> Traditional Chinese converter. As known, Chinese characters are 3-byte UTF-8, so I thought if there is a universal formula to convert between Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese..... But from my findings, it seems like the there is no such formula, maybe need to keep a long list? Can anyone advise, I want to manipulate UTF-8 myself.

You'll end up needing custom mappings like this: https://github.com/BYVoid/OpenCC/tree/master/data/dictionary

Even the simpler implementation uses a hard coded dictionary mapping: https://github.com/siongui/gojianfan/blob/master/charsets.go

Thanks for the idea! Wah, the charsets.go has two very long lines!

Found this code from China netizen, it supports validation of alphabet, digits and Chinese characters:
CODE
String regex = "^[a-zA-Z0-9\u4E00-\u9FA5]+$";


Looks like the \u4E00 to \u9FA5 must memorize, very useful in the future.
