Character Ids

The character ID corresponds to the character's GUID but it doesn't include the first 2 characters. One might determine whether the given ID is that of the player like so:

local PlayerGUID = strsub(UnitGUID("player"), 3)
local _, id, GUID = strsplit(":", achievementLink);
if (PlayerGUID == GUID) then
  -- Do something only with the player's own achievement links
end
