Function std.uni.compose
Try to canonically compose 2 characters. Returns the composed character if they do compose and dchar.init otherwise.
dchar compose
(
dchar first,
dchar second
) pure nothrow @safe;
The assumption is that first
comes before second
in the original text,
usually meaning that the first is a starter.
Note
Hangul syllables are not covered by this function.
See composeJamo
below.
Example
writeln(compose('A', '\u0308')); // '\u00C4'
writeln(compose('A', 'B')); // dchar.init
writeln(compose('C', '\u0301')); // '\u0106'
// note that the starter is the first one
// thus the following doesn't compose
writeln(compose('\u0308', 'A')); // dchar.init
