Locale:...:IBM852(3)
💅 NAME 💅
Okay so bestie, welcome to Locale::RecodeData::IBM852(3) — part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, no cap. The actual name of this little icon is:
Locale::RecodeData::IBM852 — conversion routines for IBM852 ✨
That's it, that's the whole vibe. She converts. She recodes. She's an IBM852 girlie. 🎀
✨ SYNOPSIS ✨
Read this next part very carefully, because it is literally a warning, not a suggestion:
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!
Not me warning you on line one 😭 — she is internal, she is libintl's, she is not for you to call up directly. Hands off the merchandise. 🙈
💜 DESCRIPTION 💜
So like — this module is generated, okay? It's not hand-written with love by some guy, it's generated. And what does it contain? The conversion tables and routines for IBM852. That's the whole job. Tables. Routines. IBM852. Slay. 💅
🌸 COMMENTS 🌸
The following comments have been extracted from the original charmap — like, verbatim, the receipts:
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP852
alias 852And here's the little note that comes attached to them, and it matters so pay attention: please note that aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! Like, they might be valid, they might not — do not come for me if CP852 or 852 doesn't do what you think it does. 🙈
👑 CHARACTER TABLE 👑
Okay so the table that follows this — and bestie, it is long, that's why you're only getting part one right now — has one very specific rule about how it's sorted, and it's this:
The following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap.
All character codes are in hexadecimal. Hex only. No decimals allowed at this party. 🔥
And one last reading-comprehension moment, because it trips people up every single time: when you see ISO-10646 in there, please read it as ISO-10646-UCS4. That's the whole thing. It's giving very specific, but honestly? Iconic. ⭐
So anyway, the table entries themselves are coming right up — one row at a time, in charmap order, all hex, all ISO-10646-UCS4 — and there are a lot of them, so buckle up 🦋
ok so picking right back up 💅 this is the actual table, and it's three columns: Local (the byte value in this charset), ISO-10646 (the code point it maps to), and Description (the name, always in ALL CAPS, very main character). Every single row, no skips, no cap 😤

and then 20 onwards it's just the regular squad — space, punctuation, digits, letters, the whole crew. Obsessed with 2D being HYPHEN-MINUS, honestly so specific of them 🫶

ok now we're past the plain part and it gets ✨spicy✨ — accents EVERYWHERE. Cedillas, acutes, diaereses, circumflexes, carons, ogoneks... the way this charset said "let's do all of them" 🦋 and then 9E is just MULTIPLICATION SIGN minding its own business.

and here's the part I'm actually obsessed with — the box drawing era 🎀 this is the ASCII-art zone, bestie. Light shades, dark shades, verticals, horizontals, corners, doubles... DB is FULL BLOCK and DC / DF are the half blocks. It's giving pixel art. It's giving MS Paint. It's iconic.
