Allegro 5 api

Usage

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
size_t al_utf8_encode(char s[], int32_t c)

Overview

Encode the specified code point to UTF-8 into the buffer s. The buffer must have enough space to hold the encoding, which takes between 1 and 4 bytes. This routine will refuse to encode code points above 0x10FFFF.

Returns the number of bytes written, which is the same as that returned by al_utf8_width(3).
