15 <section id="GUID-7ECA6815-84B4-5BA0-A73F-7E2DEBE2AFFF"><title>Purpose</title> <p> <codeph>TChar</codeph> represents |
|
16 a single character. It stores the character's value as a 32-bit unsigned integer |
|
17 and it provides various functions to manipulate the character and retrieve |
|
18 its properties. </p> <p>TChar and its derived classes can be used to represent |
|
19 Unicode values outside plane <b>0</b> (that is, Unicode values within the |
|
20 extended Unicode range from <codeph>0x10000</codeph> to <codeph>0xFFFFF</codeph>). |
|
21 This differentiates them from the related class <codeph>TText</codeph>, which |
|
22 can only be used for 16-bit Unicode character values. </p> </section> |
