UnicodeToUTF8 is an Integer function used to convert the Unicode character value in CodePoint to the sequence of bytes needed for the UTF-8 encoding. UnicodeToUTF8 stores the UTF-8-encoded byte values for the Unicode character in the Buf parameter.
The return value contains the number of bytes required for the UTF-8-encoded value (in the range 1..4). If it contains 0 (zero), the Unicode codepoint was invalid and an Exception is raised.
| Remark: | UnicodeToUTF8 does not process #0 byte values for the codepoint, as done for UTF-32. |
Raises an Exception when Utf8TryFindCodepointStartCodePoint is an invalid Unicode character value. Raised with the message 'UnicodeToUTF8: invalid Unicode: XXXXXXXX'.
