Glyphs

Instance Property

baseString

The Unicode string represented by the glyph’s character composition.

var baseString: String? { get set }
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString * baseString;
baseString() -> str
setBaseString_(baseString: str)

Discussion

This is usually derived from glyph information and can contain multiple Unicode code points. It is distinct from unicodes, which contains alternate code points associated with the glyph.
