UMAP(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is UMAP(1) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally the page for umap — map between different character sets. That's the whole name, no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the vibe is:

umap [options] <before>:<after>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The umap script acts as a filter between different encodings and character sets. iconic behavior, honestly.

The following options are recognized:

• --list [charset] — Without an argument it lists all character sets recognized. With a specified character set, it lists the mapping between this set and Unicode. very “show me the receipts” energy 💅
• --strict — It does the stict mapping between the character sets. (The original literally says stict here, and --stict a couple sentences later — we're keeping that exact, bestie 😭.) The default is to not translate unmapped character. With --stict we will remove unmapped characters or use the default specified with --def8 or --def16.
• --def8=<charcode> — Set the default 8-bit code for unmapped chars.
• --def16=<charcode> — Set the default 16-bit code for unmapped chars.
• --verbose — Generate more verbose output. more lore, more words ✨
• --version — Print the version number of this program and quit.
• --help — Print the usage message.
