Free an object created with
.Fn mchars_alloc .
.It Fn mchars_num2char
-Convert a character index as found in \eN\(aq\(aq into a printable
-character.
+Convert a character index (e.g., the \eN\(aq\(aq escape) into a
+printable ASCII character.
+Returns \e0 (the nil character) if the input sequence is malformed.
+.It Fn mchars_num2uc
+Convert a hexadecimal character index (e.g., the \e[uNNNN] escape) into
+a Unicode codepoint.
Returns \e0 (the nil character) if the input sequence is malformed.
-.It Fn mchars_res2cp
-Convert a predefined character into a valid Unicode codepoint.
-Returns \-1 on failure and 0 if no code-point exists (if this occurs,
-the caller should fall back to
-.Fn mchars_res2str ) .
-.It Fn mchars_res2str
-Convert a predefined character into an ASCII string.
-Returns NULL on failure.
.It Fn mchars_spec2cp
Convert a special character into a valid Unicode codepoint.
Returns \-1 on failure and 0 if no code-point exists (if this occurs,
