## Description

## Details

### camel_utf8_putc ()

    void                camel_utf8_putc                     (guchar **ptr,
                                                             guint32 c);

Output a 32 bit unicode character as utf8 octets. At most 4 octets will be written to `ptr`. `ptr` will be advanced to the next character position.

### camel_utf8_getc ()

    guint32             camel_utf8_getc                     (const guchar **ptr);

Get a Unicode character from a utf8 stream. `ptr` will be advanced to the next character position. Invalid utf8 characters will be silently skipped. `ptr` should point to a NUL terminated array.

Returns : | The next Unicode character. `ptr` will be advanced to the next character always.

### camel_utf8_getc_limit ()

    guint32             camel_utf8_getc_limit               (const guchar **ptr,
                                                             const guchar *end);

Get the next utf8 gchar at `ptr`, and return it, advancing `ptr` to the next character. If `end` is reached before a full utf8 character can be read, then the invalid Unicode gchar 0xffff is returned as a sentinel (Unicode 3.1, section 2.7), and `ptr` is not advanced.

`end` : | must not be NULL.
Returns : | The next utf8 char, or 0xffff.

### g_string_append_u ()

    void                g_string_append_u                   (GString *out,
                                                             guint32 c);

### camel_utf7_utf8 ()

    gchar *             camel_utf7_utf8                     (const gchar *ptr);

Convert a modified utf7 string to utf8. If the utf7 string contains 8 bit characters, they are treated as iso-8859-1.

The IMAP rules [rfc2060] are used in the utf7 encoding.

Returns : | The converted string.

### camel_utf8_utf7 ()

    gchar *             camel_utf8_utf7                     (const gchar *ptr);

Convert a utf8 string to a modified utf7 format.

The IMAP rules [rfc2060] are used in the utf7 encoding.

### camel_utf8_ucs2 ()

    gchar *             camel_utf8_ucs2                     (const gchar *ptr);

Convert a utf8 string into a ucs2 one. The ucs string will be in network byte order, and terminated with a 16 bit NULL.

### camel_ucs2_utf8 ()

    gchar *             camel_ucs2_utf8                     (const gchar *ptr);

Convert a ucs2 string into a utf8 one. The ucs2 string is treated as network byte ordered, and terminated with a 16 bit NUL.

### camel_utf8_make_valid ()

    gchar *             camel_utf8_make_valid               (const gchar *text);

Ensures the returned text will be valid UTF-8 string, with incorrect letters changed to question marks. Returned pointer should be freed with g_free.
