Locale:...:IBM500(3)
💖 Locale::RecodeData::IBM500(3) 💖
okay so bestie, this one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and the page header literally says Locale:...:IBM500(3) — that's the title, that's the vibe. it's a long one so buckle up, this is just part one 🎀
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::IBM500 — conversion routines for IBM500, periodt 💅
✨ SYNOPSIS ✨
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!🚨 no cap, this is internal to libintl. do not use it directly! it's giving "staff only" door energy 🙈
✨ DESCRIPTION ✨
so this module is generated — like, nobody hand-wrote it, it just exists — and it contains the conversion tables and routines for IBM500. that's it, that's the whole job 🦋
✨ COMMENTS ✨
these comments got extracted straight out of the original charmap, iykyk:
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP500
alias 500
alias 500V1
alias EBCDIC-CP-BE
alias EBCDIC-CP-CHso we got version: 1.0, the source is IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990, and the aliases are CP500, 500, 500V1, EBCDIC-CP-BE, and EBCDIC-CP-CH 🫶
⚠️ okay important: please note that the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! don't come for me if one of them doesn't work, i literally told you 💀
✨ CHARACTER TABLE ✨
the following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap — same order, no reshuffling, we respect the source 🙏
all character codes are in hexadecimal ⭐
and please read 'ISO-10646' as 'ISO-10646-UCS4' — like, when you see the short one, mentally swap in the long one, that's the assignment bestie 🧚
more parts coming, don't go anywhere 🌈
Local | ISO-10646 | Description
-------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------Okay bestie, so the table keeps going and honestly? This first stretch is the feral part 💀 — all the control codes, and they are not where you'd expect them. Like, look at 00 through 3F and tell me this isn't giving chaos gremlin energy. Read every column though, fr fr:

Chunk three, 80 onwards — lowercase letters finally show up but they're scattered, plus angles, eth, thorn, and the whole accented squad arriving fashionably late ✨:

Final stretch for this part: the capitals roll in at C1, and then we're swimming in accented letters, symbols, and one SOFT HYPHEN at CA that is lowkey trying to be sneaky 🙈:

The way this table keeps you on your toes is genuinely main character energy 🌈⭐. And DA sitting there as SUPERSCRIPT ONE between the R and the umlaut Us? Weird flex but ok 💅.
That's where E7 leaves us, bestie — the table's still going, and the next part picks it right back up from there 🦋.
