Golang : Get escape characters \u form from unicode characters
Problem :
You want to get the escape characters (\u form) from unicode characters(utf-8). How to do that?
Solution :
Use Printf %+q verb to translate the unicode characters to their escape characters. See code example below :
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
russian := "Россия"
fmt.Printf("Россия escape form is %+q\n", russian)
japanese := "おはよう"
fmt.Printf("おはよう escape form is %+q\n", japanese)
}
Output :
Россия escape form is "\u0420\u043e\u0441\u0441\u0438\u044f"
おはよう escape form is "\u304a\u306f\u3088\u3046"
