If, as Doug suggests, Vadim wants to do something like represent "'Hi' as
'U+0048 U+0069'", then the current version 1.5 of our UniEdit text editor
for Windows has a handy "Copy as" feature which automates this conversion
and a number of others.
It permits copying any amount of selected Unicode text from a UniEdit edit
window to the Windows clipboard in a variety of special formats, in addition
to the usual Unicode-text and local code page Windows clipboard formats,
which result from the usual "Copy" feature. Here are the various formats:
Unicode UTF-8 Encoding
U+nnnn (Unicode Character Literals)
&#number; (HTML Numeric Character References)
\\unnnn (Java Unicode Escape Sequences)
0xnnnn, (C/C++ Hexadecimal Integer Constants, Comma-delimited)
&Hnnnn (Visual Basic Hexadecimal Integer Constants)
The resulting formatted strings can then be pasted directly into source
code, a resource string file, documentation, etc. in another text editor or
a non-Unicode-aware application (in the case of UTF-8 format).
I'm not sure if we handle properly the formatting of surrogates or anything
beyond the BMP....
UniEdit v.1.5 can be downloaded from here:
http://research.humancomp.org/ftp/pub/download/unied32.exe (9825KB)
General UniEdit information is available here:
http://www.humancomp.org/uniintro.htm
(although there isn't much detail there about the new features added in
v.1.5).
Best wishes,
Rick Kunst
