IntlChar::charMirror
(PHP 7)
IntlChar::charMirror — Get the "mirror-image" character for a code point
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
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.
The return type will be integer unless the code point was passed as a UTF-8 string, in which case a string will be returned.
Examples
Example #1 Testing different code points
<?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) ")"
