✨ NAME ✨

al_utf16_encode — Allegro 5 API. periodt. 💖

okay bestie, this is the al_utf16_encode(3alleg5) manual page, and it's here to help you encode code points into UTF-16. let's get into it 🦋

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

size_t al_utf16_encode(uint16_t s[], int32_t c)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically, al_utf16_encode encodes the specified code point to UTF-16 into the buffer s. The buffer must have enough space to hold the encoding, which takes either 2 or 4 bytes. no cap. 🫶

This routine will refuse to encode code points above 0x10FFFF. it said what it said, bestie 🚫

It returns the number of bytes written, which is the same as that returned by al_utf16_width(3alleg5). slay. ✨
