Glyphs

Instance Property

unicodes

The Unicode code points associated with the glyph, as an ordered set of uppercase hexadecimal strings.

var unicodes: NSOrderedSet? { get set }
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSOrderedSet * unicodes;
pyobjc_instanceMethods.unicodes() -> NSOrderedSet
pyobjc_instanceMethods.setUnicodes_(unicodes: NSOrderedSet)

Discussion

Most glyphs have zero or one Unicode code point, but a glyph can have several. The first value is the primary Unicode code point used by singular convenience properties such as unicode and unicodeChar. Glyph information can assign Unicode code points when the glyph name changes. Use this property or the Unicode mutation methods instead of modifying the returned set directly.
