# `GSGlyph.unicodes`

*Instance Property*

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

## Declaration

```swift
var unicodes: NSOrderedSet? { get set }
```

```objc
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSOrderedSet * unicodes;
```

[See also `unicodes` in the Python API](https://docu.glyphsapp.com/#GSGlyph.unicodes)

```python
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 [`GSGlyph.unicode`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSGlyph/unicode) and [`GSGlyph.unicodeChar`](/Core/GlyphsCore/GSGlyph/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.
