# ES6 `String.fromCodePoint` polyfill [](https://travis-ci.org/mathiasbynens/String.fromCodePoint)
|
||
|
||
An robust & optimized ES3-compatible polyfill for [the `String.fromCodePoint` method in ECMAScript 6](http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-string.fromcodepoint).
|
||
|
||
Other polyfills for `String.fromCodePoint` are available:
|
||
|
||
* <http://norbertlindenberg.com/2012/05/ecmascript-supplementary-characters/#String> by [Norbert Lindenberg](http://norbertlindenberg.com/) (passes all tests)
|
||
* <https://gist.github.com/slevithan/2290602> by [Steven Levithan](http://stevenlevithan.com/) (fails 8 tests)
|
||
* <https://github.com/paulmillr/es6-shim/blob/771e98e789292706d2435e4e10ffbe45edf40da6/es6-shim.js#L63-L83> by [Paul Miller](http://paulmillr.com/) (passes all tests)
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
In a browser:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<script src="fromcodepoint.js"></script>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Via [npm](http://npmjs.org/):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm install string.fromcodepoint
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then, in [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/):
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
require('string.fromcodepoint');
|
||
|
||
// On Windows and on Mac systems with default settings, case doesn’t matter,
|
||
// which allows you to do this instead:
|
||
require('String.fromCodePoint');
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
[A polyfill + test suite for `String.prototype.codePointAt`](http://mths.be/codepointat) is available, too.
|
||
|
||
The tests for this repository [are now used by Mozilla](http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/2411714cd058), to help ensure their native `String.fromCodePoint` implementation is correct.
