PHP Unicode codepoint to character

Question

I would like to convert Unicode codepoint to character. Here is what I have tried:

$point = dechex(127468);  // 1f1ec

echo \"\\u{1f1ec}\";         // this w         


        

Answer 1

You don't need to convert integer to hexadecimal string, instead use IntlChar::chr:

echo IntlChar::chr(127468);

Directly from docs of IntlChar::chr:

Return Unicode character by code point value
