<strong>[icu]</strong>
Find a Unicode character by either its name and return its code point value. All Unicode names are in uppercase. Extended names are all lowercase except for numbers and are contained within angle brackets. The names are searched in the following order <ul> <li> Most current Unicode name if there is any <li> Unicode 1.0 name if there is any <li> Extended name in the form of "<codepoint_type-codepoint_hex_digits>". E.g. <noncharacter-FFFE> </ul> Note calling any methods related to code point names, e.g. getName() incurs a one-time initialization cost to construct the name tables.
