Locale:...:IBM424(3)

okay bestie, welcome to Locale:...:IBM424(3), a User Contributed Perl Documentation page, and it's giving deep-internals energy — like, this is not the module you casually call at a party, iykyk. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

Locale::RecodeData::IBM424 — Conversion routines for IBM424. that's the whole name section, no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!

fr fr, bestie, it literally says do not use directly — this is not a "just import it and see what happens" situation. 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

this module is generated, and it contains the conversion tables and routines for IBM424. that's it, that's the vibe — generated code doing generated-code things. ✨

💬 COMMENTS 💬

the following comments have been extracted from the original charmap, and they're kind of iconic in a deeply nerdy way:

• version: 1.0
• source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
• alias CP424
• alias EBCDIC-CP-HE

Please note that aliases listed above are not necessarily valid!

like, read that warning again, bestie — those aliases are not necessarily valid, so don't just assume and run off. 🫶

🔥 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' — those are the exact column vibes: Local, ISO-10646, and Description. 💜
