{{jsxref("String.prototype.at()")}} : Returns the character (exactly one UTF-16 code unit) at the specified index. Accepts negative integers, which count back from the last string character. {{jsxref("String.prototype.charAt()")}} : Returns the character (exactly one UTF-16 code unit) at the specified index. {{jsxref("String.prototype.charCodeAt()")}} : Returns a number that is the UTF-16 code unit value at the given index. {{jsxref("String.prototype.codePointAt()")}} : Returns a nonnegative integer Number that is the code point value of the UTF-16 encoded code point starting at the specified pos. {{jsxref("String.prototype.concat()")}} : Combines the text of two (or more) strings and returns a new string. {{jsxref("String.prototype.endsWith()")}} : Determines whether a string ends with the characters of the string searchString. {{jsxref("String.prototype.includes()")}} : Determines whether the calling string contains searchString. {{jsxref("String.prototype.indexOf()")}} : Returns the index within this string of the first occurrence of searchValue, or -1 if not found. {{jsxref("String.prototype.isWellFormed()")}} : Returns a boolean indicating whether this string contains any lone surrogates. {{jsxref("String.prototype.lastIndexOf()")}} : Returns the index within this string of the last occurrence of searchValue, or -1 if not found. {{jsxref("String.prototype.localeCompare()")}} : Returns a number indicating whether the reference string compareString comes before, after, or is equivalent to the given string in sort order. {{jsxref("String.prototype.match()")}} : Used to match regular expression regexp against a string. {{jsxref("String.prototype.matchAll()")}} : Returns an iterator of all regexp's matches. {{jsxref("String.prototype.normalize()")}} : Returns the Unicode Normalization Form of the calling string value. {{jsxref("String.prototype.padEnd()")}} : Pads the current string from the end with a given string and returns a new string of the length targetLength. {{jsxref("String.prototype.padStart()")}} : Pads the current string from the start with a given string and returns a new string of the length targetLength. {{jsxref("String.prototype.repeat()")}} : Returns a string consisting of the elements of the object repeated count times. {{jsxref("String.prototype.replace()")}} : Used to replace occurrences of searchFor using replaceWith. …
