## IFontEncoding::DecodeToGid method


Decodes a character code and returns glyph id. Glyph id is a unique number for a glyph, which is font type dependent. For example: [Type1](../../../aspose.font.type1/)'s id is a glyph name, instance of ([GlyphStringId](../)) class. TTF's id is an int index, instance of ([GlyphUInt32Id](../)) class. Note: character code is not necessary a unicode. Character code is a char index in [Font](../../font/) encoding "table".

```cpp
virtual System::SharedPtr<Glyphs::GlyphId> Aspose::Font::IFontEncoding::DecodeToGid(uint32_t charCode)=0
```


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| charCode | uint32_t | Character code to get glyph identifier for. |

### ReturnValue

Glyph identifier related to charCode passed.
