Runes class

The runes (integer Unicode code points) of a String.

The characters of a string are encoded in UTF-16. Decoding UTF-16, which combines surrogate pairs, yields Unicode code points. Following a similar terminology to Go, Dart uses the name 'rune' for an integer representing a Unicode code point. Use the runes property to get the runes of a string.

Example:

const string = 'Dart';
final runes = string.runes.toList();
print(runes); // [68, 97, 114, 116]

For a character outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (plane 0) that is composed of a surrogate pair, runes combines the pair and returns a single integer.

For example, the Unicode character for "Man" emoji ('👨', U+1F468) is combined from the surrogates U+d83d and U+dc68.

Example:

const emojiMan = '👨';
print(emojiMan.runes); // (128104)

// Surrogate pairs:
for (final item in emojiMan.codeUnits) {
  print(item.toRadixString(16));
  // d83d
  // dc68
}
