# `•ucs` — Unicode

`•ucs Y` converts characters to exact integer code points, and code
points to characters, keeping the shape of `Y`. `E•ucs Y` encodes
characters, or decodes integer code units, where `E` is `"UTF-8"`,
`"UTF-16"` or `"UTF-32"`. The encoding forms take vectors. An invalid
code point or a malformed encoding is a `DOMAIN` error.

``` bpl
•ucs "ABC"         ⍝ [65 66 67]ₓ
•ucs 65 66 67      ⍝ "ABC"
"UTF-8"•ucs 'é'    ⍝ [195 169]ₓ
"UTF-8"•ucs 195 169 ⍝ "é"
```

`•ucs⁻¹` is `•ucs`, with the same `E` if there is one.
