Go: Reverse a UTF-8 encoded string
This function returns a string with the UTF-8 encoded characters of s
in reverse order. Invalid UTF-8 sequences, if any, will be reversed byte by byte.
func ReverseUTF8(s string) string {
res := make([]byte, len(s))
prevPos, resPos := 0, len(s)
for pos := range s {
resPos -= pos - prevPos
copy(res[resPos:], s[prevPos:pos])
prevPos = pos
}
copy(res[0:], s[prevPos:])
return string(res)
}
Example usage:
for _, s := range []string{
"Ångström",
"Hello, 世界",
"\xff\xfe\xfd", // invalid UTF-8
} {
fmt.Printf("%q\n", ReverseUTF8(s))
}
"mörtsgnÅ"
"界世 ,olleH"
"\xfd\xfe\xff"
