Description

public static IntlChar::charFromName ( string $characterName [, int $nameChoice = IntlChar::UNICODE_CHAR_NAME ] ) : int

Finds a Unicode character by its name and returns its code point value.

The name is matched exactly and completely. If the name does not correspond to a code point, NULL is returned.
