Format text

Use utf8_text_*() functions to format text (using Utf8)

library(utf8ify)
text <- "\nHello World"

cat(
  text,
  utf8_text_bold(text),
  utf8_text_bold2(text),
  utf8_text_italic(text),
  utf8_text_bolditalic(text),
  utf8_text_cursive(text),
  utf8_text_gothic(text),
  utf8_text_circle(text)
)

## 
## Hello World 
## 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 
## 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 
## 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 
## 𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅 
## 𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸 𝓦𝓸𝓻𝓵𝓭 
## 𝕳𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖔 𝖂𝖔𝖗𝖑𝖉 
## Ⓗⓔⓛⓛⓞ Ⓦⓞⓡⓛⓓ

Not all characters can be formatted. In this example the letter öis not formatted bold (as there is no corresponding Utf8 bold character)

utf8_text_bold("Heute ist ein schöner Tag")

## [1] "𝗛𝗲𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼̈𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗮𝗴"

Format number

utf8_number_box(123.45)

## [1] "1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣.4️⃣5️⃣"

Collection

{utf8ify} comes with a collection of Utf8 symbols & emojis. They are structured as a list.

u <- utf8_collection()

Inspect

If you found an Utf8 character on the internet, you can inspect it using utf8_inspect()

utf8_inspect("❤️")

## chr = ❤️ 
## int = 10084 65039 
## hex = 2764 fe0f

Here you can see, that this heard symbol is a combination of two Utf8 characters.
