Have y'all ever written an answer with unprintable ASCII characters in it and wished that there was an easy way to represent those characters in a printable way? Well, that's why the Control Pictures Unicode block was invented.
However, manually substituting these characters into one's answer is time-consuming, so that's what today's challenge is about: swapping out the nasty invisible characters for nice, readable characters.
Input
You will be given strings that contain a mix of ASCII-only characters (i.e. the UTF-8 code point of each character will be in the range: \$0 \lt char \le 127\$).
Output
For all unprintable characters, replace it with its corresponding character in the Control Pictures Unicode range.
In other words:
- Characters in the range \$0 \lt char \lt 9\$ are replaced with their corresponding character
- Horizontal tabs and newlines (9 and 10) aren't replaced
- Characters in the range \$11 \le char \lt 32\$ are replaced with their corresponding character
- Spaces (32) aren't replaced
- The delete character (127) is replaced with its corresponding character:
␡
Tests
Characters are given as escapes for nice formatting here, but each character will be replaced with the unprintable character
In -> Out
\x1f\x1c\x1f\x1e\x1f\x1e\x1f\x1f\x1e\x1f\x1e\x1f -> ␟␜␟␞␟␞␟␟␞␟␞␟
Hello\x07World! -> Hello␇World!
\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\x0c\x0b\x0e\x0f\x10\x11\x12\x13\x14\x15\x16\x17\x18\x19\x1a\x1b\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f\x7f -> ␁␂␃␄␅␆␇␈␌␋␎␏␐␑␒␓␔␕␖␗␘␙␚␛␜␝␞␟␡
\r -> ␍
Rules
- All standard loopholes are forbidden
- Character substitutions must be made according to the Control Pictures Unicode block
- Input will be given with the literal unprintable characters
Scoring
This is code-golf so the answer with the fewest amount of bytes wins.
Test-Case Generator
I have provided a test case generator for y'all. It prints inputs in the way they will be passed to your program and outputs the expected result.
Leaderboards
Here is a Stack Snippet to generate both a regular leaderboard and an overview of winners by language.
To make sure that your answer shows up, please start your answer with a headline, using the following Markdown template:
# Language Name, N bytes
where N
is the size of your submission. If you improve your score, you can keep old scores in the headline, by striking them through. For instance:
# Ruby, <s>104</s> <s>101</s> 96 bytes
If there you want to include multiple numbers in your header (e.g. because your score is the sum of two files or you want to list interpreter flag penalties separately), make sure that the actual score is the last number in the header:
# Perl, 43 + 2 (-p flag) = 45 bytes
You can also make the language name a link which will then show up in the leaderboard snippet:
# [><>](http://esolangs.org/wiki/Fish), 121 bytes

in your test cases? – totallyhuman – 2019-11-18T05:41:40.157Why not include vertical tabs, newlines, or spaces? The newlines and spaces in particular make this challenge worth it. – ouflak – 2019-11-18T08:49:44.320
Maybe add the idea that the environnement is in the LC_ALL=C locale, so that some ranges are readily available ( [ -~] for exemple). The locale is often compatible with that range... but not always. (for ex see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3208902/1841533 )
– Olivier Dulac – 2019-11-18T11:26:25.677Does the output need to be UTF-8, or can it be any valid Unicode encoding? – Brian Minton – 2019-11-18T15:35:30.123
Oof. Runic (or the C# interpreter) does not like many of the input bytes. I spent probably 20 minutes trying to figure out why it was dying when trying to handle 0b11 and it turns out that it never gets into the string-on-the-stack.
