💖 Locale::RecodeData::IBM851(3) 💖
okay so like, hi bestie!! 🌸 this is the manual page for Locale::...:IBM851(3) — it's part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, which is literally where all the good stuff lives. come sit with me, we're gonna go through it together 🫶
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::IBM851 — conversion routines for IBM851 💅
like, that's the whole vibe. it does the converting. for IBM851. iconic behavior honestly.
✨ SYNOPSIS ✨
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!okay so this is the part where I have to be a little stern with you, bestie 😭 — this module is internal to libintl. it is not for you. do not use it directly. I'm serious!! it's giving "staff only" door energy 🚪✨
✨ DESCRIPTION ✨
so what is it? this module is generated, and it contains the conversion tables and routines for IBM851. that's it, that's the whole description 🎀 it's a generated little guy doing generated little things. we love a humble queen 👑
✨ COMMENTS ✨
okay so the following comments have been extracted from the original charmap, and honestly? they're giving lore 🦋
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP851
alias 851like — version: 1.0, source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990, alias CP851, alias 851. look at that vintage March 1990 energy, a literal elder 🌈
⚠️ but bestie please note: the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! so don't come for me if you tryCP851or851and it doesn't slay. it's giving "maybe, maybe not" 💀
✨ CHARACTER TABLE ✨
the following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap 📊 no cap. and also!! all character codes are in hexadecimal 🔥 so like, get your hex brain on.
one more thing — please read 'ISO-10646' as 'ISO-10646-UCS4'. yes literally, that's the note, I'm not making it up 🙈 it's a naming thing, iykyk.
✨ part 1 done, more coming bestie ✨

FF | 000000A0 | NO-BREAK SPACEand that's the whole rest of the table bestie 💜 — <pink>E6</pink> all the way to <pink>FF</pink>, no skips, no gaps, we ate. Notice how EC is GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA but ED is GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA? Yeah, the byte order there is lowkey not alphabetical and that's just how it is — don't come for me, I didn't build the codepage 😭. Also FE is a literal BLACK SQUARE and FF is NO-BREAK SPACE, which is the most unserious ending to a character table ever but okay, we move. 🫶
