LaTeXM...nicode(3pm)

ok bestie, welcome to LaTeXM...nicode(3pm) — straight outta the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's literally the cutest little Unicode toolbox for LaTeXML 🦋✨

💖 NAME 💖

LaTeXML::Util::Unicode — Unicode Utilities. periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

LaTeXML::Util::Unicode gives you several genuinely useful utilities for manipulating Unicode for LaTeXML, and it's mostly there to help you out with mathematics 🧮✨ (iykyk, math is the main character here)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here are the three functions, and yes every single one of them slays in its own way 🫶

---

⭐ $string = UTF($codepoint);

Converts the given numeric codepoint to unicode ✨ This one is your bestie for codepoints under 255 — think UTF(0xA0) for non-breaking space — because perl does not reliably handle those 😭 Like, it just doesn't. So use this instead, fr fr.

⭐ $mathvariant = unicode_mathvariant($font);

Converts the font to a Unicode-appropriate mathvariant 💜 The font should be in the string form you generally find during post-processing, eg "bold italic". The mathvariant that comes back can be used in MathML, or passed straight into unicode_convert to convert strings into that given style 🌈 Two-for-one, we love to see it.

⭐ $unicode = unicode_convert($string,$style);

Converts the given string to the codepoints corresponding to the requested style 🎀 Returns undef if not all characters in the string can be converted — so like, vibe check your input, bestie 🙈

The recognized styles are literally:

• "bold"
• "italic"
• "bold-italic"
• "sans-serif"
• "bold-sans-serif"
• "sans-serif-italic"
• "sans-serif-bold-italic"
• "monospace"
• "script"
• "bold-script"
• "fraktur"
• "bold-fraktur"
• "double-struck"

...as well as "superscript" and "subscript" 👑 That's the whole menu and every single one of them ate.

ngl bestie, if unicode_convert hands you back undef, that means something in your string couldn't be converted to the style you asked for — no cap, that's just what the page says 💀

and that's the whole page!! this was perl v5.40.1, dated 2025-11-16, from LaTeXM...nicode(3pm) — mwah, go convert some codepoints 💋🌸
