       Module Uchar
        : (module Stdlib__Uchar)

       type t

       The type for Unicode characters.

       A  value  of this type represents a Unicode scalar value which is an integer in the ranges
       0x0000 ...  0xD7FF or 0xE000 ...  0x10FFFF .

       val min : t

       min is U+0000.

       val max : t

       max is U+10FFFF.

       val bom : t

       bom is U+FEFF, the byte order mark (BOM) character.

       Since 4.06.0

       val rep : t

       rep is U+FFFD, the replacement character.

       Since 4.06.0

       val succ : t -> t

       succ u is the scalar value after u in the set of Unicode scalar values.

       Raises Invalid_argument if u is Uchar.max .

       val pred : t -> t

       pred u is the scalar value before u in the set of Unicode scalar values.

       Raises Invalid_argument if u is Uchar.min .

       val is_valid : int -> bool

       is_valid n is true if and only if n is a Unicode scalar value (i.e. in the  ranges  0x0000
       ...  0xD7FF or 0xE000 ...  0x10FFFF ).

       val of_int : int -> t

       of_int i is i as a Unicode character.

       Raises Invalid_argument if i does not satisfy Uchar.is_valid .

       val to_int : t -> int

       to_int u is u as an integer.

       val is_char : t -> bool

       is_char u is true if and only if u is a latin1 OCaml character.

       val of_char : char -> t

       of_char c is c as a Unicode character.

       val to_char : t -> char

       to_char u is u as an OCaml latin1 character.

       Raises Invalid_argument if u does not satisfy Uchar.is_char .

       val equal : t -> t -> bool

       equal u u' is u = u' .

       val compare : t -> t -> int

       compare u u' is Stdlib.compare u u' .

       val hash : t -> int

       hash u associates a non-negative integer to u .

   UTF codecs tools
       type utf_decode

       The  type  for  UTF  decode results. Values of this type represent the result of a Unicode
       Transformation Format decoding attempt.

       val utf_decode_is_valid : utf_decode -> bool

       utf_decode_is_valid d is true if and only if d holds a valid decode.

       val utf_decode_uchar : utf_decode -> t

       utf_decode_uchar d is the Unicode character decoded by d if utf_decode_is_valid d is  true
       and Uchar.rep otherwise.

       val utf_decode_length : utf_decode -> int

       utf_decode_length  d  is  the number of elements from the source that were consumed by the
       decode d . This is always strictly positive and smaller or equal to 4 . The kind of source
       elements  depends  on  the  actual  decoder; for the decoders of the standard library this
       function always returns a length in bytes.

       val utf_decode : int -> t -> utf_decode

       utf_decode n u is a valid UTF decode for u that consumed n elements from  the  source  for
       decoding.   n  must  be  positive  and  smaller  or equal to 4 (this is not checked by the
       module).

       val utf_decode_invalid : int -> utf_decode

       utf_decode_invalid n is an invalid UTF decode that consumed n elements from the source  to
       error.   n must be positive and smaller or equal to 4 (this is not checked by the module).
       The resulting decode has Uchar.rep as the decoded Unicode character.

       val utf_8_byte_length : t -> int

       utf_8_byte_length u is the number of bytes needed to encode u in UTF-8.

       val utf_16_byte_length : t -> int

       utf_16_byte_length u is the number of bytes needed to encode u in UTF-16.
