Encode::Byte(3pm) — Single Byte Encodings 💖

NAME

Encode::Byte — Single Byte Encodings. That’s the name, bestie, and yes it’s literally all about the single-byte encoding girlies.

SYNOPSIS

okay so here’s the little summoning ritual:

use Encode qw/encode decode/;
$greek = encode("iso-8859-7", $utf8);  # loads Encode::Byte implicitly
$utf8  = decode("iso-8859-7", $greek); # ditto

ABSTRACT

Bestie, this module implements various single byte encodings. For most cases it uses \x80-\xff (upper half) to map non-ASCII characters. Encodings supported are as follows.

The original table columns are canonical, alias, and description — I’m keeping all three vibes, no cap.
