JavaScript string charCodeAt() vs codePointAt() All In One

JavaScript string charCodeAt() vs codePointAt() All In One

String.prototype.charCodeAt() vs String.prototype.codePointAt()

String 值的 charCodeAt() 方法返回 0 到 65535 之间的整数，表示给定索引处的 UTF-16 代码单元。

取值范围： [0, 2^16]

2 ** 16
// 65536

2 ** 16 - 1
// 65535

'h'.charCodeAt()
//104
'h'.charCodeAt(0)
//104
'h'.charCodeAt(1)
// NaN

String 值的 codePointAt() 方法返回一个非负整数，它是从给定索引开始的字符的 Unicode 代码点值。

'h'.codePointAt()
// 104
'h'.codePointAt(0)
// 'h'.codePointAt()
'h'.codePointAt(1)
// undefined
