Locale:...:IBM278(3)
✨ NAME ✨
okay so bestie, this is the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual page for Locale::RecodeData::IBM278 — literally Conversion routines for IBM278. The manual name is folded up here near the top instead of copy-pasting that header line, because we're cute like that 🎀
💅 SYNOPSIS 💅
bestie, it says it right here and it is serious:
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!like, do not use it directly — it's internal to libintl 🚫
🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸
okay so this module is generated, and it contains the conversion tables and routines for IBM278. That's the whole vibe ✨
🦋 COMMENTS 🦋
The following comments have been extracted from the original charmap — no cap:
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP278
alias EBCDIC-CP-FI
alias EBCDIC-CP-SEAnd bestie, please note: the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! So don't just assume they're all gonna slay 💅
👑 CHARACTER TABLE 👑
okay so the following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap. All character codes are in hexadecimal. And please read 'ISO-10646' as 'ISO-10646-UCS4' — yes, literally that 🔥
okay so continuing right where we left off, bestie — this is the actual table, the main character of the whole page 👑 Three columns, read them left to right: the Local code, the ISO-10646 code point it maps to, and the description. First chunk is the low end of the map, and it is chaotic:
