In utf8ify: Format Text Using Unicode

Format text

Use utf8_text_*() functions to format text (using Utf8)

library(utf8ify)
text <- "\nHello World"

cat(
  text,
  utf8_text_bold(text),
  utf8_text_bold2(text),
  utf8_text_italic(text),
  utf8_text_bolditalic(text),
  utf8_text_cursive(text),
  utf8_text_gothic(text),
  utf8_text_circle(text)
)

Not all characters can be formatted. In this example the letter öis not formatted bold (as there is no corresponding Utf8 bold character)

utf8_text_bold("Heute ist ein schöner Tag")

Format number

utf8_number_box(123.45)

Collection

{utf8ify} comes with a collection of Utf8 symbols & emojis. They are structured as a list.

u <- utf8_collection()

fav (favorites)

u$fav |> unlist()

animal

u$animal |> unlist()

celebrate

u$celebrate |> unlist()

clock

u$clock |> unlist()

eat

u$eat |> unlist()

drink

u$drink |> unlist()

list

u$list |> unlist()

office

u$office |> unlist()

person

u$person |> unlist()

Block

Use utf8_block() to show a complete Utf8 block:

utf8_block(from = "0x1F600", to = "0x1F64F", show_names = FALSE)

utf8_block(from = "0x2600", to = "0x26FF", show_names = FALSE)

utf8_block(from = "0x16A0", to = "0x16F0", show_names = FALSE)

Inspect

If you found an Utf8 character on the internet, you can inspect it using utf8_inspect()

utf8_inspect("❤️")

Here you can see, that this heard symbol is a combination of two Utf8 characters.
