utf8Strreverse

fnstring utf8Strreverse(string str)

Reverses a UTF-8 string. str must be valid UTF-8 encoded text. (Use [glib.global.utf8Validate] on all text before trying to use UTF-8 utility functions with it.)

This function is intended for programmatic uses of reversed strings. It pays no attention to decomposed characters, combining marks, byte order marks, directional indicators (LRM, LRO, etc) and similar characters which might need special handling when reversing a string for display purposes.

Note that unlike [glib.global.strreverse], this function returns newly-allocated memory, which should be freed with [glib.global.gfree] when no longer needed.

Parameters

stra UTF-8 encoded string

Returns

a newly-allocated string which is the reverse of str
