Using Unicode in Programming Languages

Here are examples of how to use Unicode characters in various programming languages:

Python

# Unicode string
unicode_string = "Hello, 世界!"
print(unicode_string)

# Unicode escape sequence
print("\u03C0")  # Prints π

# Name-based lookup
import unicodedata
print(unicodedata.lookup("GREEK SMALL LETTER PI"))  # Prints π
        

JavaScript

// Unicode string
let unicodeString = "Hello, 世界!";
console.log(unicodeString);

// Unicode escape sequence
console.log("\u03C0");  // Prints π

// Code point escape
console.log("\u{1F600}");  // Prints 😀
        

Java

// Unicode string
String unicodeString = "Hello, 世界!";
System.out.println(unicodeString);

// Unicode escape sequence
System.out.println("\u03C0");  // Prints π

// Unicode code point
System.out.println(Character.toString(0x1F600));  // Prints 😀
        

C#

// Unicode string
string unicodeString = "Hello, 世界!";
Console.WriteLine(unicodeString);

// Unicode escape sequence
Console.WriteLine("\u03C0");  // Prints π

// Unicode code point
Console.WriteLine(char.ConvertFromUtf32(0x1F600));  // Prints 😀
        

HTML

<!-- Unicode characters can be used directly in HTML -->
<p>Hello, 世界! Here's a smiley face: 😀</p>

<!-- Using HTML entities -->
<p>The Greek letter pi: &#960; or &pi;</p>

<!-- Using data attributes for storing Unicode -->
<span data-unicode="U+1F600">😀</span>
        

CSS

/* Using Unicode in CSS content property */
.pi-symbol::before {
    content: "\03C0";
}

/* Unicode range for font face rules */
@font-face {
    font-family: 'MyEmojiFont';
    src: url('emoji-font.woff2') format('woff2');
    unicode-range: U+1F600-1F64F; /* Emoticons range */
}

/* Attribute selector using Unicode */
[data-unicode="U+1F600"] {
    color: yellow;
}
        

Remember, when working with Unicode, ensure your source files are saved with UTF-8 encoding and your development environment is configured to handle Unicode correctly.
