How are Mathcad strings encoded? Does anybody know how Mathcad strings are encoded?
I've got a project on the back burner to look at Babylonian mathematics, including astronomical observations. I'd like to convert between Arabic and Sumerian/Babylonian numbers and display them accordingly. Unfortunately, whilst Unicode has code points for cuneiform numerals, I can't display them.
According to the Mathcad Prime 11 Help,
vec2str(v)—Converts a vector of UNICODE codes in v to a string. This function also works with zero-length strings, such as vec2str(0) = "".
str2vec("S")—Converts a string S to a vector of UNICODE codes corresponding to the characters in S. This function also works with zero-length strings, such as str2vec("") = 0
v is a vector of integers representing UNICODE code points for any valid string character. Acceptable values are integers in the range 9, 10, 13, or 32 - 255.
