# bson_unichar_t

## 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);
       }
    }
