stri_escape_unicode: Escape Unicode Code Points

Description

Escapes all Unicode (not ASCII-printable) code points.

Usage

stri_escape_unicode(str)

Arguments

str

character vector

Value

• Returns a character vector.

Details

For non-printable and certain special (well-known, see also Rman page Quotes) ASCII characters the following (also recognized in R) convention is used. We get \a, \b, \t, \n, \v, \f, \r, ", ', \\ or either {\uXXXX} (4 hex digits) or {\UXXXXXXXX} (8 hex digits) otherwise.

As usual, any input string is converted to Unicode before executing the escape process.
