Parameters

codepoint

The integer codepoint value (e.g. 0x2603 for U+2603 SNOWMAN), or the character encoded as a UTF-8 string (e.g. "\u{2603}")

Return Values

The bidirectional category value; one of the following constants:

  • IntlChar::CHAR_DIRECTION_LEFT_TO_RIGHT
  • IntlChar::CHAR_DIRECTION_RIGHT_TO_LEFT
  • IntlChar::CHAR_DIRECTION_EUROPEAN_NUMBER
  • IntlChar::CHAR_DIRECTION_EUROPEAN_NUMBER_SEPARATOR

Examples

Example #1 Testing different code points

<?php
var_dump(IntlChar::charDirection("A") === IntlChar::CHAR_DIRECTION_LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
var_dump(IntlChar::charDirection("\u{05E9}") === IntlChar::CHAR_DIRECTION_RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
var_dump(IntlChar::charDirection("+") === IntlChar::CHAR_DIRECTION_EUROPEAN_NUMBER_SEPARATOR);
var_dump(IntlChar::charDirection(".") === IntlChar::CHAR_DIRECTION_COMMON_NUMBER_SEPARATOR);
?>

The above example will output:

bool(true)
bool(true)
