Summary of Unicode important points:

  • GraphQL does not have an official encoding, it stays at the abstraction of a "sequence of code points"

  • Graphql document:

    • UTF16-BE BOM: 0xFE, 0xFF
    • UTF-8 BOM: 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF
    • string encoding: UTF-16 or UTF-8
    • escaped unicode in quoted string take the form of UTF-16 BE:
      • 4 digit hex: \u000A
      • variable length: \u{1F4A9}
      • range (>= 0x0000 and <= 0xD7FF or >= 0xE000 and <= 0x10FFFF)
      • Escape sequences are only meaningful within a single-quoted string
      • SurrogatePair: "\uD83D\uDCA9" is equal to "\u{1F4A9}"
    • Document: ASCII, UTF-16, UTF-8
      • graphql will use ASCII for the language expression, but strings and comments can use Unicode encoding
  • JSON Serialization Format:
