Locale:...:IBM437(3)
💅 Locale::RecodeData::IBM437(3) — like, the whole manual page, bestie
okay so real talk — this page is from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the module it's spilling tea about is Locale::RecodeData::IBM437. Yeah. That name. It's a whole mouthful, iykyk. 🎀
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::IBM437 — conversion routines for IBM437, periodt. 💖
🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋
like, just don't, okay?
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!fr fr bestie, this is not for you. It's internal to libintl, and it says do not use directly — not a vibe suggestion, it's literally the rule. 🙈
🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸
So this module is generated (not hand-written, no cap — a machine made it) and it contains the conversion tables and the routines for IBM437. That's the whole job. It converts stuff. It's giving "humble little worker bee" energy. 🐝✨
💬 COMMENTS 💬
These comments were extracted from the original charmap, straight up copied vibes:
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP437
alias 437And like — please note — the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! 😭 So don't come for me if CP437 or 437 doesn't work where you thought it would. Aliases are messy. It's a whole thing. 💀
👑 CHARACTER TABLE 👑
okay so bestie, here's the tea about the table that's coming up: it's sorted in the same order as the original charmap. All character codes are in hexadecimal — no decimals, we're fancy here. 💅
And super important, don't get confused: when you see ISO-10646, you should read it as ISO-10646-UCS4. Like, that's the actual name, ISO-10646 is just the nickname. 🌈
<span>more coming in part 2, don't go anywhere ✨🫶</span>
okay so picking up right where we left off, bestie — here's the actual byte-by-byte map, every single row, no skipping, no cap 💅
