UITextView.selectedRange return value as 4.

The returned value should be an NSRange, not an integer.

My question is how to convert this selectedRange convert to character based?

Depends on your usage. What of character based?

Assume you want a String specified by selectedRange, you may need to write something like this:

Code Block         let nsRange = textView.selectedRange
        if let range = Range(nsRange, in: textView.text) {
            let selectedText = String(textView.text[range])
            print(selectedText)
            //...
        }
