# Documentation

data CodingFailureMode Source #

The `CodingFailureMode` is used to construct `TextEncoding`s, and specifies how they handle illegal sequences.

Constructors

ErrorOnCodingFailure | Throw an error when an illegal sequence is encountered
IgnoreCodingFailure | Attempt to ignore and recover if an illegal sequence is encountered
TransliterateCodingFailure | Replace with the closest visual match upon an illegal sequence
RoundtripFailure | Use the private-use escape mechanism to attempt to allow illegal sequences to be roundtripped.

codingFailureModeSuffix :: CodingFailureMode -> String Source #

isSurrogate :: Char -> Bool Source #

Some characters are actually "surrogate" codepoints defined for use in UTF-16. We need to signal an invalid character if we detect them when encoding a sequence of `Char`s into `Word8`s because they won't give valid Unicode.

We may also need to signal an invalid character if we detect them when encoding a sequence of `Char`s into `Word8`s because the `RoundtripFailure` mode creates these to round-trip bytes through our internal UTF-16 encoding.
