Locale:...ata::CWI(3)
okay so this is Locale::RecodeData::CWI(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — and it’s all about conversion routines for CWI. bestie, it’s giving internal-module energy, so buckle up. 💅✨
💖 NAME 💖
Locale::RecodeData::CWI — conversion routines for CWI. that’s the whole vibe. 🎀
✨ SYNOPSIS ✨
no cap, this module is internal to libintl. do not use it directly! 🫶
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸
This module is generated, and it contains the conversion tables and routines for CWI. literally does what it says on the tin. 🦋
💌 COMMENTS 💌
The following comments have been extracted from the original charmap:
version: 1.0

alias CP-HUPlease note that aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! 🙈 so don’t just assume they’re all good to go.
🔥 CHARACTER TABLE 🔥
The following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap. All character codes are in hexadecimal. Please read 'ISO-10646' as 'ISO-10646-UCS4'. 👑⭐
okay so we're deep in the table now, and before your eyes glaze over let me remind you how to read it 🫶 three columns: the local byte (hex, two digits, no 0x because we're fancy), the ISO-10646 code point (that's the Unicode number, padded out to eight digits), and then the actual description of what that character is. Read it left to right and you're basically translating a legacy byte into a Unicode character. That's the whole vibe. 💅
Here's the bottom half-ish — the control zone and all of plain old ASCII, i.e. everything you can type without crying:

okay NOW the fun part, 80 and up, where the local byte and the ISO-10646 number stop agreeing and honestly? that's where all the character lives 💖 accented letters, currency, the box-drawing saga, all of it:

E0 | 000003B1 | GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHAnot me getting emotional over 9F 😭 it's the one row that breaks the pattern: instead of a plain codepoint it says HUNGARIAN FLORINTH (CWI_9F), codepoint 0000E01F, and that (CWI_9F) tag in the description is literally part of the name here — that's this table's whole personality, iykyk. 🎀
also clock the little moments: 93, 96, 98, A7 are the DOUBLE ACUTE letters and their ISO-10646 values are 00000151, 00000171, 00000170, 00000150 — way up past the rest of the Latin-1 crew, which all hang out in the 000000C0–000000FC zone. main character energy. 💜 9E is PESETA SIGN at 000020A7, A9 is a genuinely unhinged REVERSED NOT SIGN at 00002310, and AB/AC are out here calling themselves VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF and VULGAR FRACTION ONE QUARTER — the drama. 🙈
and then B3 through DF is just... an entire box-drawing saga 🔥 forty-something rows of BOX DRAWINGS in every light/double/single/up/down/horizontal/vertical combo imaginable, one FULL BLOCK, four half blocks, and then E0 hits you with GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA at 000003B1 like a plot twist nobody asked for. ngl I respect it.
and we're still mid-table — the local bytes keep climbing past E0, so hold that thought bestie, there's more 💅
