== Usage ==
Converts Unicode character codes, always given in hexadecimal, to their UTF-8 or UTF-16 representation in upper-case hex or decimal. Can also reverse this for UTF-8. The UTF-16 form will accept and pass through unpaired surrogates e.g. <code>{{#invoke:Unicode convert|getUTF8|D835}}</code> → {{#invoke:Unicode convert|getUTF16|D835}}. The reverse function <code>fromUTF8</code> accepts multiple characters, and can have both input and output set to decimal.

When using from another module, you may call these functions as e.g. <code>unicodeConvert.getUTF8{ args = {'1F345'} }</code>, without a proper <code>frame</code> object.

To find the character code of a given symbol (in decimal), use e.g. {{ml|ustring|codepoint|\🐱}} → {{#invoke:ustring|codepoint|\🐱}}.
