API

codePoint(character)

character: String
Return: Number

If it takes a string as an argument, it returns the same result of character.codePointAt(0).

It throws an error if the argument is not a string or the string is empty.

codePoint('\udada'); //=> 56026
codePoint('\udada\udfdf'); //=> 814047

It works correctly even in ECMAScript <= 5 environments that don't support String.prototype.codePointAt.
