IntlChar::charMirror

Description

Maps the specified character to a "mirror-image" character.

For characters with the Bidi_Mirrored property, implementations sometimes need a "poor man's" mapping to another Unicode character (code point) such that the default glyph may serve as the mirror-image of the default glyph of the specified character. This is useful for text conversion to and from codepages with visual order, and for displays without glyph selection capabilities.

Parameters

codepoint

Parameter

Return Values

Returns another Unicode code point that may serve as a mirror-image substitute, or codepoint itself if there is no such mapping or codepoint does not have the Bidi_Mirrored property.

Return

Examples

Example

<?php
var_dump(IntlChar::charMirror("A"));
var_dump(IntlChar::charMirror("<"));
var_dump(IntlChar::charMirror("("));
?>

The above example will output:

string(1) "A"
string(1) ">"
string(2) ")"
