Convert Unicode (E.G. 1F564) to Emoji in Swift

Convert Unicode (e.g. 1f564) to Emoji in Swift

This works. I don't know if there is anything more direct:

let myStr = "1f564"
let str = String(UnicodeScalar(Int(myStr, radix: 16)!)!)

Swift 3 convert unicode string U+1F600

Thanks vacawama and Edmar, both helped me find the solution which was as follows:

if let unicode = definition["unicode"] as? String {
    if let int = Int(unicode.replacingOccurrences(of: "U+", with: ""), radix: 16) {
        if let scalar = UnicodeScalar(int) {
            let string = String(scalar)
            emoji.text = string
        }
    }
}

Print unicode character from variable (swift)

This can be done in two steps:

1. convert charAsString to Int code
2. convert code to unicode character

Second step can be done e.g. like this

var code = 0x1f44d
var scalar = UnicodeScalar(code)
var string = "\(scalar)"

As for first the step, see here how to convert String in hex representation to Int

Unicode String Interpolation

I tried poking around the internet and couldn't really find anything. You could parse the hex value out, and use that to make a UnicodeScalar, but I can't think of any nicer ways.

Swift String literal for unicode character is wrong

To represent the character in Swift you must use this kind of interpolation:

let dagger = "\u{2020}"

What Unicode characters represent time?

The following code points exist related to clocks, watches, and other devices to indicate time:

⌚  U+0231A  WATCH
⌛  U+0231B  HOURGLASS
⏰  U+023F0  ALARM CLOCK
⏱  U+023F1  STOPWATCH
⏲  U+023F2  TIMER CLOCK
⏳  U+023F3  HOURGLASS WITH FLOWING SAND
⧖  U+029D6  WHITE HOURGLASS
⧗  U+029D7  BLACK HOURGLASS
  U+1F4C5  CALENDAR
  U+1F4C6  TEAR-OFF CALENDAR
  U+1F550  CLOCK FACE ONE OCLOCK
  U+1F55C  CLOCK FACE ONE-THIRTY
  U+1F551  CLOCK FACE TWO OCLOCK
  U+1F55D  CLOCK FACE TWO-THIRTY
  U+1F552  CLOCK FACE THREE OCLOCK
  U+1F55E  CLOCK FACE THREE-THIRTY
  U+1F553  CLOCK FACE FOUR OCLOCK
  U+1F55F  CLOCK FACE FOUR-THIRTY
  U+1F554  CLOCK FACE FIVE OCLOCK
  U+1F560  CLOCK FACE FIVE-THIRTY

  U+1F562  CLOCK FACE SEVEN-THIRTY
  U+1F557  CLOCK FACE EIGHT OCLOCK
  U+1F563  CLOCK FACE EIGHT-THIRTY
  U+1F558  CLOCK FACE NINE OCLOCK
  U+1F564  CLOCK FACE NINE-THIRTY
  U+1F559  CLOCK FACE TEN OCLOCK
  U+1F565  CLOCK FACE TEN-THIRTY
  U+1F55A  CLOCK FACE ELEVEN OCLOCK
  U+1F566  CLOCK FACE ELEVEN-THIRTY
