Integer vector (can also be written as a character vector)
Valid for: System object
Unicode is a worldwide standard which encodes characters in two bytes, thus providing a
total of 65,536 possible characters. This is enough to represent all the international and special characters
used in modern computer applications. APL characters, including all those used in APLX, are defined in the
Unicode standard.
The unicode property of the System
object allows your program to exchange Unicode text with other applications via the clipboard. When you read the property, any Unicode text
in the clipboard is returned as a vector of integers. (You can translate it to the APLX internal text representation by
using ŒUCS). You can write either a vector of integers, each representing a
valid Unicode character in the range 0 to 65535, or a character vector. If you write a character vector to this property,
it is translated to Unicode and placed on the clipboard.
