DESCRIPTION

SEE ALSO

Unicode::ICU::MessagePattern

CONSTANTS

%PART_TYPE

Name-value map corresponding to ICU’s UMessagePatternPartType enum.

%ARG_TYPE

Name-value map corresponding to ICU’s UMessagePatternArgType enum.

METHODS

The following match their C++ counterparts:

• type() (cf. Unicode::ICU’s %UMSGPAT_PART_TYPE)

• arg_type() (cf. Unicode::ICU’s %UMSGPAT_ARG_TYPE)

• value()

The following are like their C++ counterparts but return actual character indices, not UChar * indices:

• index()

• length()

• limit()

Getting actual character indices matters if your pattern contains emoji, CJK, or other code points outside Unicode’s Basic Multilingual Plane, i.e., 0 - 0xFFFF.
