mchar_encode(3m17n)

✨ NAME ✨

mchar_encode — bestie, it's the encode-a-character-code one 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned mchar_encode (MSymbol charset_name, int c)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: you've got a character code, and you wanna know what it looks like inside a specific charset. That's literally the whole job.

The mchar_encode() function encodes character code c to get a code-point in the charset represented by the symbol charset_name.

That's it. That's the function. Encode c → get the code-point in <charset_name>. Slay. 🎀

---

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

If encoding was successful, mchar_encode() returns the encoded code-point. Periodt. ✨

Otherwise — and this is the part where you go 🥲 — it returns MCHAR_INVALID_CODE. No code-point for you, bestie.
