💅 Locale::RecodeData::IBM280 — the manual, but make it make sense
okay so bestie, buckle up, this is IBM280(3) — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🫶
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::IBM280 — literally just conversion routines for IBM280. that's the whole gig. 🎀
🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!no cap, that's the entire synopsis. read it again. this module is internal to libintl, and you are not supposed to use it directly — like, it's not for you, it's for the library's own business 🙈 iykyk.
🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋
So this module is generated — nobody hand-wrote it, it got spat out by a generator — and inside it's holding the conversion tables and routines for IBM280. that's it, that's the vibe. it's a data carrier, it's bookkeeping, it's giving "supporting cast, not main character" 💅
🍓 COMMENTS 🍓
These are the comments that got extracted from the original charmap, verbatim, because we do not gatekeep the receipts 👑
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP280
alias EBCDIC-CP-ITso yeah: version 1.0, source is IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990, and there are two aliases — CP280 and EBCDIC-CP-IT.
⚠️ okay important, don't skip this: the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! the page says it, I'm saying it, we're all saying it. don't come for me if CP280 doesn't do what you think it does 😭
🔥 CHARACTER TABLE 🔥
The table coming up is sorted in the same order as the original charmap — no reshuffling, no ✨creative liberties✨.
All character codes are in hexadecimal, bestie. hex. base 16. 0x-core energy.
And one little translation note 🧚: whenever you see ISO-10646 written in there, you should read it as ISO-10646-UCS4. same thing, longer name, iconic either way ⭐
(more coming, hold the vibe 🌈)
okay bestie we're deep in the table now and honestly? this is the part where you just gotta scroll and vibe 💅 the columns are still the same three, so here's your little recap so you don't have to scroll back:
Local | ISO-10646 | Description
-------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------that's local byte → the ISO-10646 code point it maps to → what humans call it, in that order, every single time. no cap. and now, the actual rows — the first stretch is the control-character corner and it is genuinely unhinged 😭
