💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the fribidi_get_mirror_char(3) page in the Programmer's Manual, and the function is literally called get mirrored character. That's the whole assignment, bestie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <../fribidi/lib/fribidi.h>

fribidi_boolean fribidi_get_mirror_char
(
            FriBidiChar ch,
            FriBidiChar *mirrored_ch
);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • FriBidiChar ch — the input character. This is the character you're bringing to the function's attention. 💖
  • FriBidiChar *mirrored_ch — the output mirrored character. This is where the mirrored result goes. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function finds the mirrored equivalent of a character, as defined in the file BidiMirroring.txt of the Unicode Character Database, available at http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/BidiMirroring.txt. Like, that file is the source of truth for the mirror lore. 🔥

If the input character is declared as a mirroring character in the Unicode standard and has a mirrored equivalent, the matching mirrored character is put in the output. Otherwise, the input character itself is put in the output. No cap: you either get the mirror match or you get your original character back. 🪞✨

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

It returns whether the character has a mirroring equivalent or not. That's the whole fribidi_boolean vibe check, bestie — yes-or-no energy about whether a mirror equivalent exists. 🫶
