# bson\_unichar\_t(3)

Unicode Character Abstraction

## SYNOPSIS

```
typedef uint32_t bson_unichar_t;
```

## DESCRIPTION

*bson\_unichar\_t* provides an abstraction on a single unicode character. It is the 32-bit representation of a character. As UTF-8 can contain multi-byte characters, this should be used when iterating through UTF-8 text.

## EXAMPLE

```
static void
print_each_char (const char *str)
{
   bson_unichar_t c;
   for (; *str; str = bson_utf8_next_char (str)) {
      c = bson_utf8_get_char (str);
      printf ("The numberic value is %u.\n", (unsigned) c);
   }
}
```
