💅 NAME
Locale::RecodeData::IBM862 — conversion routines for IBM862 🎀
(yeah bestie, this is the IBM862(3) page, living under User Contributed Perl Documentation — we love a humble icon 👑)
✨ SYNOPSIS ✨
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!Okay so real talk: this module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly! Like, it's giving backstage-pass-only energy — you're not supposed to walk up in there and start calling things yourself, no cap 🙈
🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸
This module is generated — yes, a robot made it, not a human typing away at 3am 🧚 — and it contains the conversion tables and routines for IBM862.
So basically: tables + routines, both in one little package. That's the whole vibe check. ✨
💖 COMMENTS 💖
These comments got lifted straight out of the original charmap, and I'm putting them here verbatim because I would never gatekeep:
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP862
alias 862So we've got version 1.0, and the source is IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990 — vintage, honestly, a real 1990 moment 🕰️ And then there are two aliases: CP862 and 862. 🎀
⚠️ Please note — and this is important, bestie — that the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! So don't come for me if you use them and it doesn't slay. They're just, like, what the charmap said. 💀
🦋 CHARACTER TABLE 🦋
Okay so the following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap — same order, no reorganisation, we respect the source in this house 🙏
All character codes are in hexadecimal. Yes, all of them. Every single one. 🔥
And one thing you must know before reading it: please read 'ISO-10646' as 'ISO-10646-UCS4'. It's just a naming thing, but like, it matters, iykyk. 💜
The table itself is coming up next, so stay with me — ✨
okay bestie, table time 🎀 three columns — the local byte, the ISO-10646 code point it maps to, and the name. read it like a menu, it's genuinely so satisfying how tidy it is.
💅 the control codes (0x00–0x1F)
first chunk is all vibes and no visible characters — these are your control codes, the backstage crew of the character set:

1F | 0000001F | UNIT SEPARATOR (IS1)look at 07 — that's BELL, BEL, the actual reason your terminal can go ding 😭 iconic honestly. and 1C–1F are the separator girlies: IS4, IS3, IS2, IS1, in that order, descending, going out with a whimper.
✨ the ASCII stretch (0x20–0x7F)
and now the part you actually recognise. bestie, every single one of these has the exact same value in both columns — local byte and code point match, no translation drama, we love a stable queen:

🕎 the Hebrew block (0x80–0x9A)
and then boom — the table switches personalities completely. from 80 onwards we're in Hebrew letter territory:
80 | 000005D0 | HEBREW LETTER ALEF
81 | 000005D1 | HEBREW LETTER BET
82 | 000005D2 | HEBREW LETTER GIMEL

99 | 000005E9 | HEBREW LETTER SHIN
9A | 000005EA | HEBREW LETTER TAVokay the "FINAL" girlies are lowkey the main characters here — 8A FINAL KAF, 8D FINAL MEM, 8F FINAL NUN, 93 FINAL PE, 95 FINAL TSADI — they get their own code points and honestly they earned it 💅 also clock that these all jump up to 000005D0–000005EA, a completely different neighbourhood from the ASCII part.
🦋 the currency + punctuation moment (0x9B–0xAF)
after TAV the table swerves hard into money, accents and typography:

AE | 000000AB | LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
AF | 000000BB | RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARKAB and AC are literally named VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF and VULGAR FRACTION ONE QUARTER — vulgar!! the Unicode naming committee was in a MOOD 😭 and A9 REVERSED NOT SIGN sitting right next to AA NOT SIGN is giving sibling energy fr fr.
💀 the box drawing era (0xB0–0xDF)
okay this is the part where the table becomes an ART PROJECT. shades first, then every box drawing combination known to humanity:

DF | 00002580 | UPPER HALF BLOCKthe way every single one of these is BOX DRAWINGS plus two directions, in a different word order each time, is HIGHKEY sending me 😭 SINGLE AND LEFT DOUBLE vs DOUBLE AND LEFT SINGLE — miss ma'am, that's a whole tongue twister. and then DB–DF switch it up into the block girls: FULL BLOCK, LOWER HALF BLOCK, LEFT HALF BLOCK, RIGHT HALF BLOCK, UPPER HALF BLOCK 🧱 this is the era of making boxes in a text file and feeling like a graphic designer, no cap.
🌸 the Greek finale (0xE0–0xE8)
and the chunk we got here ends on some Greek letters plus a couple of stragglers:
E0 | 000003B1 | GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA
E1 | 000000DF | LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S (German)
E2 | 00000393 | GREEK CAPITAL LETTER GAMMA
E3 | 000003C0 | GREEK SMALL LETTER PI

E5 | 000003C3 | GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA
E6 | 000000B5 | MICRO SIGN
E7 | 000003C4 | GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU
E8 | 000003A6 | GREEK CAPITAL LETTER PHIscream it with me: GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA at E5 and GREEK CAPITAL LETTER SIGMA at E4 — capital comes FIRST, lowercase after, which is such a chaotic choice and I respect it 🙈 also E1 is out here as LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S (German) breaking up the Greek party, and E6 is the MICRO SIGN 🎀
aaand that's where this part of the table cuts off at E8 — there's more coming bestie, don't go anywhere 💜
E9→00000398— GREEK CAPITAL LETTER THETA 💜 (she's giving math-class main character energy)EA→000003A9— GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA 🎀 (the final boss of letters, periodt)EB→000003B4— GREEK SMALL LETTER DELTA ✨EC→0000221E— INFINITY 🌈 (fr fr, no end)ED→000003C6— GREEK SMALL LETTER PHI 🦋EE→000003B5— GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON 🌸EF→00002229— INTERSECTION 💅F0→00002261— IDENTICAL TO 👑 (twinning, literally)F1→000000B1— PLUS-MINUS SIGN 💖F2→00002265— GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO 🔥F3→00002264— LESS-THAN OR EQUAL TO ⭐F4→00002320— TOP HALF INTEGRAL 🧚F5→00002321— BOTTOM HALF INTEGRAL 🧚 (her other half, we stan a matched set)F6→000000F7— DIVISION SIGN 💀F7→00002248— ALMOST EQUAL TO 🙈 (so close bestie)F8→000000B0— DEGREE SIGN ☀️F9→00002219— BULLET OPERATOR 🍓FA→000000B7— MIDDLE DOT 🎀FB→0000221A— SQUARE ROOT 🌱FC→0000207F— SUPERSCRIPT LATIN SMALL LETTER n ✨ (tiny little n, obsessed)FD→000000B2— SUPERSCRIPT TWO 💅FE→000025A0— BLACK SQUARE 🖤FF→000000A0— NO-BREAK SPACE 🫶 (the quiet icon of the whole table, lowkey the most important one here)
