# Function core::char::from_u32_unchecked

1.5.0 (const: unstable) · source · [−]

    pub unsafe fn from_u32_unchecked(i: u32) -> char

Expand description

Converts a `u32` to a `char`, ignoring validity.

Note that all `char`s are valid `u32`s, and can be cast to one with `as`:

    let c = '💯';
    let i = c as u32;

    assert_eq!(128175, i);

Run

However, the reverse is not true: not all valid `u32`s are valid `char`s. `from_u32_unchecked()` will ignore this, and blindly cast to `char`, possibly creating an invalid one.

## Safety

This function is unsafe, as it may construct invalid `char` values.

For a safe version of this function, see the `from_u32` function.

## Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::char;

    let c = unsafe { char::from_u32_unchecked(0x2764) };

    assert_eq!('❤', c);
