Description
$codepoint
): ?arrayGets the "age" of the code point.

The Unicode version number, as an array.
For example, version 1.3.31.2 would be represented as [1, 3, 31, 2]
.
Returns null
on failure.
Examples
Example #1 Testing different code points
<?php
var_dump(IntlChar::charage("\u"));
var_dump(IntlChar::charage("\u"));
?>
The above example will output:
array(4) { [0]=> int(1) [1]=> int(1) [2]=> int(0) [3]=> int(0) } array(4) { [0]=> int(7) [1]=> int(0) [2]=> int(0) [3]=> int(0) }
