## IFontEncoding::UnicodeToGid method


Decodes a unicode 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.

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


| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| unicode | uint32_t | Unicode to get glyph identifier for. |

### ReturnValue

Glyph identifier related to unicode passed.
