How can I convert a month and year value into Unicode using Javascript? For instance, "6, 2013" would become "\u1046, \u1042\u1040\u1041\u1043" (Myanmar text).
Patrick pointed me to Codepen where I got this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date();
var mn = (d.getMonth()+1);
var dn = d.getDate();
var yn = d.getFullYear();
var toMyanmar = function (string) {
var unicodeString = '';
for (var i=0; i < string.length; i++) {
var char = string[i];
if (parseInt(char),16) {
char = String.fromCharCode(string.charCodeAt(i) + 4112)
}
unicodeString += char;
}
return unicodeString;
}
document.write("<br/>Myanmar Date: ");
document.write(toMyanmar(''+ mn) + ', ');
document.write(toMyanmar(''+ dn) + ', ');
document.write(toMyanmar(''+ yn));
document.write("<br/>Date; Latin/Arabic numerals: " + mn + ', ' + dn + ', ' + yn);
</script>
<body style="font-family:'Myanmar Text',Arial;"></body>
Zero (0; u1040, #4160) was ignored by this script until I moved the radix number to the same line as "parseInt". (mmrtext.ttf or similar Unicode font is needed to see characters displayed.)
So, this now works well for my purpose. And I think will be be the basis for future transcoding of character pages since Myanmar-related languages use many different sets.
Thanks a million until you are better paid.
