HarfBuzz-0.0 ▶ HarfBuzz ▶ buffer_serialize_unicode`Since 2.7.3`

buffer_serialize_unicode(
    buffer: buffer_t,
    start: number,
    end: number,
    format: buffer_serialize_format_t,
    flags: buffer_serialize_flags_t,
): [number, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>, number]
Serializes buffer into a textual representation of its content, when the buffer contains Unicode codepoints (i.e., before shaping). This is useful for showing the contents of the buffer, for example during debugging. There are currently two supported serialization formats:

text

A human-readable, plain text format. The serialized codepoints will look something like:
```
 <U+0651=0|U+0628=1>
```
- Glyphs are separated with |
- Unicode codepoints are expressed as zero-padded four (or more) digit hexadecimal numbers preceded by U+
- If #HB_BUFFER_SERIALIZE_FLAG_NO_CLUSTERS is not set, the cluster will be indicated with a = then HarfBuzz.glyph_info_t.cluster.
json

A machine-readable, structured format. The serialized codepoints will be a list of objects with the following properties:
- u: the Unicode codepoint as a decimal integer
- cl: HarfBuzz.glyph_info_t.cluster if #HB_BUFFER_SERIALIZE_FLAG_NO_CLUSTERS is not set.
For example:
```
[{u:1617,cl:0},{u:1576,cl:1}]
```
Parameters
- buffer: buffer_t
  an HarfBuzz.buffer_t buffer.
- start: number
  the first item in buffer to serialize.
- end: number
  the last item in buffer to serialize.
- format: buffer_serialize_format_t
  the HarfBuzz.buffer_serialize_format_t to use for formatting the output.
- flags: buffer_serialize_flags_t
  the HarfBuzz.buffer_serialize_flags_t that control what glyph properties to serialize.
Returns [number, Uint8Array<ArrayBufferLike>, number]
The number of serialized items.
