Erlang and binary with cyrillic
If you want to enter the specified expression in erlang shell, read the user manual for the module unicode. Function character_to_binaryand character_to_listare simultaneously a reverse function. The following is an example:
(emacs@yus-iMac.local)37> io:getopts().
[{expand_fun,#Fun<group.0.33302583>},
{echo,true},
{binary,false},
{encoding,unicode}]
(emacs@yus-iMac.local)40> A = unicode:characters_to_binary("上海").
<<228,184,138,230,181,183>>
(emacs@yus-iMac.local)41> unicode:characters_to_list(A).
[19978,28023]
(emacs@yus-iMac.local)45> io:format("~s~n",[ unicode:characters_to_list(A,utf8)]).
** exception error: bad argument
in function io:format/3
called as io:format(<0.30.0>,"~s~n",[[19978,28023]])
(emacs@yus-iMac.local)46> io:format("~ts~n",[ unicode:characters_to_list(A,utf8)]).
上海
ok
If you want to use unicode:characters_to_binary("上海").directly in the source code, this is a little more complicated. You can try to find the difference first.
