al_utf8_width(3alleg5)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, this is the manual page for al_utf8_width(3alleg5), and it's literally the Allegro 5 API 💅✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

size_t al_utf8_width(int32_t c)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, this function returns the number of bytes that would be occupied by the specified code point when encoded in UTF-8, no cap 🦋

for legal code point values, that number is between 1 and 4 bytes. otherwise? it returns 0 💀

that's the whole vibe. c is the code point you're checking, and the function tells you how wide it would be in UTF-8 bytes. iconic.
