Locale:...:IBM861(3)
💖 Locale::RecodeData::IBM861(3) 💖
okay so bestie, real talk — this is the manual page for Locale::RecodeData::IBM861, and yes, the full header thingy is literally Locale:...:IBM861(3) on the left and Locale:...:IBM861(3) on the right, with User Contributed Perl Documentation chilling in the middle. Perl docs stay being iconic like that. 🎀
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::IBM861 — conversion routines for IBM861, and that's the whole vibe. 🦋
✨ SYNOPSIS ✨
⚠️ bestie, listen to me: this module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly! Like, do not. I'm serious. It's giving "staff only" door energy. 💅
✨ DESCRIPTION ✨
So this module is generated — not hand-written, generated — and it's carrying the conversion tables and routines for IBM861. That's it, that's the whole job. 🌸
✨ COMMENTS ✨
These comments got extracted from the original charmap, so here's the receipts, verbatim:
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP861
alias 861
alias CP-ISAnd a heads-up, lowercase but important: please note that the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! 🫶 Like, don't come for me if you try one and it doesn't work. 🙈
✨ CHARACTER TABLE ✨
The table that follows is sorted in the same order as the original charmap. All character codes are in hexadecimal, no cap. And when you see ISO-10646, please read it as ISO-10646-UCS4 — that's the actual name, it's just abbreviated for the table's convenience. ⭐
(table coming up next — stay tuned bestie, this is a three-parter 💜)
...and we're straight back into it, bestie — the table keeps going, and honestly? This is where it gets good. 💅
🫧 the control zone, 00–1F
Okay so first up, the invisible girlies. Every single one of these maps 1:1 onto its own ISO-10646 code point — no plot twists, no drama, just the classic control characters doing their quiet little jobs:
00 | 00000000 | NULL (NUL)
01 | 00000001 | START OF HEADING (SOH)
02 | 00000002 | START OF TEXT (STX)

1E | 0000001E | RECORD SEPARATOR (IS2)
1F | 0000001F | UNIT SEPARATOR (IS1)BEL at 07, BS at 08, HT at 09, LF at 0A, CR at 0D — the holy pentagon of "why does my terminal look like that". And yes, 1B is ESCAPE (ESC), the main character of every ANSI sequence you've ever pasted. 👑
✨ the printable zone, 20–3F
Then it's right into the printing era. 20 is SPACE (the hardest working character in the whole table, fr fr 🫶), and then the punctuation besties roll in:
20 | 00000020 | SPACE
21 | 00000021 | EXCLAMATION MARK
22 | 00000022 | QUOTATION MARK

3C | 0000003C | LESS-THAN SIGN
3D | 0000003D | EQUALS SIGN
3E | 0000003E | GREATER-THAN SIGN
3F | 0000003F | QUESTION MARK30–39 being DIGIT ZERO through DIGIT NINE in order is so satisfying it's genuinely giving ASMR. 🌸 And note that 2D is HYPHEN-MINUS, not just "hyphen" — the table is being precise with you, bestie, always read the label. 📋
💜 uppercase hours, 40–5F
40 is COMMERCIAL AT, and then it's simply the entire capital alphabet, one after another, like a little parade 🎀:

5F | 0000005F | LOW LINE5F is LOW LINE — that's the underscore to you and me, but the table stays formal. 💅 And 5C is REVERSE SOLIDUS, aka the backslash, aka the reason your regex cried today. 😭
🦋 lowercase + the big goodbye to 1:1, 60–7F

7F | 0000007F | DELETE (DEL)7F is DELETE (DEL) and it gets to be the last one where local value == ISO-10646 value. After this? Buckle up. 🎢
🔥 the accented era begins, 80–9F
This is the moment the table stops being all "plain letters" and starts being international. Every local byte from here on points at a code point somewhere else in ISO-10646 — no more 1:1, and honestly the mapping is kind of iconic:
80 | 000000C7 | LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA
81 | 000000FC | LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS
82 | 000000E9 | LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE

9C | 000000A3 | POUND SIGN
9D | 000000D8 | LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE
9E | 000020A7 | PESETA SIGN
9F | 00000192 | LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK8B ETH (Icelandic), 8C eth (Icelandic), 8D THORN (Icelandic), and later 95 is the lowercase THORN (Icelandic) — yes the table calls out "(Icelandic)" specifically for those, and I'm obsessed. 🧊
Also clock 9E → 000020A7 PESETA SIGN and 9F → 00000192 LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK. Those two are your little reminder that this block is not uniform — read each row, don't assume, iykyk. 👀

Then B0 hits and it's BOX DRAWINGS SEASON — the shades (LIGHT SHADE, MEDIUM SHADE, DARK SHADE) and the very first BOX DRAWINGS entries. 🌈

DF | 00002580 | UPPER HALF BLOCKEvery single one of these is a BOX DRAWINGS something-or-other, and the naming is so specific — LIGHT vs DOUBLE, SINGLE AND LEFT DOUBLE vs DOUBLE AND LEFT SINGLE, UP vs DOWN, and the order of the words genuinely flips depending on which combination it is. Do not freestyle these names. Copy them character for character or your box will look cursed. 😭
And DB–DF close us out with the blocks: FULL BLOCK, LOWER HALF BLOCK, LEFT HALF BLOCK, RIGHT HALF BLOCK, UPPER HALF BLOCK. 🧱 Half a block, but make it fashion.
Vibe check: every line above is a straight-up fact from the table — Local value on the left, ISO-10646 code point in the middle, Description on the right. No guessing, no interpolating, no "eh it's probably like EE". Read the row. 💖
Still going, bestie — more below. 🫶

FD | 000000B2 | SUPERSCRIPT TWO
FE | 000025A0 | BLACK SQUARE
FF | 000000A0 | NO-BREAK SPACEokay bestie, that's the whole entire table — we literally started in the 0x00's and now we're sitting at FF like it's the last slide of the presentation 🫶 and honestly? look at that back half. Greek letters everywhere — alpha, gamma, pi, two whole sigmas, tau, phi twice (one capital, one lowercase, very main character of them), theta, omega, delta, epsilon — like someone said "let's put a fraternity row in a DOS codepage" and nobody stopped them 💅
plus the math girlies showed up: INFINITY, INTERSECTION, IDENTICAL TO, GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO, LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO, TOP HALF INTEGRAL, BOTTOM HALF INTEGRAL, DIVISION SIGN, ALMOST EQUAL TO, BULLET OPERATOR, MIDDLE DOT, SQUARE ROOT, and a SUPERSCRIPT LATIN SMALL LETTER N sitting right next to a SUPERSCRIPT TWO. scientists doing math in 1986 needed their little symbols and IBM861 said say less ✨
and then FE | 000025A0 | BLACK SQUARE living directly above FF | 000000A0 | NO-BREAK SPACE — the square is the loudest thing in the entire codepage and the no-break space is the quietest, and they're neighbors 😭 the range of it all.
iffy detail check: no cap, every row above is character-for-character what's in the source, hex and all. don't come for me, i copied them exactly 🎀
