Print unicode character from variable (swift)

Question

I have a problem I couldn\'t find a solution to. I have a string variable holding the unicode \"1f44d\" and I want to convert it to a unicode character

Answer 1

As of Swift 2.0, every Int type has an initializer able to take String as an input. You can then easily generate an UnicodeScalar corresponding and print it afterwards. Without having to change your representation of chars as string ;).

UPDATED: Swift 3.0 changed UnicodeScalar initializer

print("\u{1f44d}") //
