Is there a way to get, with a script, the Utf8 code of a given Unicode character ?
Example:
Unicode: 2019
Utf8: E28099
Both of them are used in the Index.xml files describing the contents of Pages documents.
So, it's difficult to identifie the bookmark to which an internal link is pointing to.
The Bookmark descriptor uses Unicode number: (’)
<sf:p sf:style="paragraph-style-32">
<sf:bookmark sf:name="Pages ’06" sf:ranged="true" sf:page="5">Pages ’06</sf:bookmark>
<sf:br/>
</sf:p>
The link descriptor uses Utf8 code. (’)
<sf:p sf:style="paragraph-style-32"> <sf:link href=""><sf:span sf:style="SFWPCharacterStyle-7">a link</sf:span></sf:link><sf:insertion-point/><sf:br/></sf:p>
1. For AppleScript, you can write the Unicode character to a file (as «class utf8»), read it back in 1 byte at a time, use 'id of' or ASCII number and translate that to hex.
2. Using a Tcl script on disk, which I have called "utf8chars.tcl" and which looks like this:
#####
fconfigure stdin -translation binary;fconfigure stdin -encoding binary; while {1} { if {[eof stdin] == 1} then { return; } set bytes [read -nonewline stdin]; binary scan $bytes H* res; set length [string length $res]; for {set i 0} {$i < [expr $length - 1]} {incr i 2} { puts -nonewline %[string toupper [string range $res $i [expr $i + 1]]]; } }
#####
I call it from AppleScript. Here I use the character you mentioned:
set char to character id 8217 set tclfile to POSIX path of ((path to desktop folder as text) & "utf8chars.tcl") do shell script "echo " & char & " | tclsh " & tclfile & " - "
