Encode::ISO2022JP2(3)

🎀 Encode::ISO2022JP2 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Encode::ISO2022JP2 — a lil Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and she's here to serve you iso-2022-jp-2, the extended iso-2022-jp character set. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Encode::ISO2022JP2 — iso-2022-jp-2 — the extended iso-2022-jp character set. That's it, that's the whole name section, she's lowkey humble like that. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the vibe, copy-paste it, it literally works:

use Encode::ISO2022JP2;
use Encode qw/encode decode/;
$byte = encode("iso-2022-jp-2", $utf8);
$utf8 = decode("iso-2022-jp-2", $byte);

encode going one way, decode coming back the other, main character energy fr fr. 🦋

👑 ABSTRACT 👑

So basically this module hands you iso2022-jp-2 encoding. That's the whole pitch. Here's the deets:

• Canonical: iso-2022-jp-2
• Alias: qr/\biso-?2022-?jp-?2$/i
• Description: RFC 1554

like, yes, the alias is a regex, she's flexible like that, the ? after the hyphens means the hyphens are optional, iykyk. 💜

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Want the full tutorial on how to actually use this module in detail? Go read Encode. That's the main character, this one's her lil sister. 🫶

💀 Note on Implementation 💀

Okay so here's the tea, and it's important:

RFC 1554 does allow you to designate the JIS X 0201 Latin set at the end of lines — but the very same RFC turns around and says that using non-ASCII like that is "discouraged". 😭 So this module made a choice: ASCII is always assumed at the end of encoded lines. Periodt. No exceptions, no debating, that's just how she runs. 💅
