Locale:...:IBM870(3)
🌸 Locale::RecodeData::IBM870 🌸
okay bestie, so this is Locale::RecodeData::IBM870 from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's giving very niche, very iconic conversion-table energy. Let's get into it 💅
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::IBM870 — literally just conversion routines for IBM870. That's the whole vibe. 🎀
🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋
okay so hear me out:
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!not me having to say this but — this module is internal to libintl. Do not use it directly, bestie. I'm serious. It's not for you, it's for libintl. Hands off 🙈
💖 DESCRIPTION 💖
so this module is generated — like, nobody hand-wrote it, it just exists — and it contains the conversion tables and routines for IBM870. That's it. That's the whole personality. slay 🫶
🎀 COMMENTS 🎀
okay so these comments were extracted from the original charmap, and I'm quoting them exactly because details matter:
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP870
alias EBCDIC-CP-ROECE
alias EBCDIC-CP-YUso we got version: 1.0, source is IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990 (vintage! ⭐), and three aliases: CP870, EBCDIC-CP-ROECE, and EBCDIC-CP-YU.
⚠️ and please note — the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! like, don't come for me if they don't work, I'm just the messenger 😭
🔥 CHARACTER TABLE 🔥
okay so the table that follows? it's sorted in the same order as the original charmap. all character codes are in hexadecimal. and this next bit is important, so read it twice:
bestie, when you see'ISO-10646'in there, please read it as'ISO-10646-UCS4'. iykyk 💀
more coming, stay tuned 💜
okay bestie, deep breath, hydrate, stretch — this is the part where the table actually happens. three columns: Local, ISO-10646, and Description, and every single row gets its moment. no skips, no "etc.", we're doing all of it 💅

3F | 0000001A | SUBSTITUTE (SUB)okay first of all, the control-character block is a whole mood 😭 like 04 is STRING TERMINATOR (ST) mapping to 0000009C, 07 is DELETE (DEL) mapping to 0000007F — the local byte is literally not the same as the ISO-10646 value and that is fully the point of the table, bestie. don't panic, just read both columns 🫶
and yes, 25 being LINE FEED (LF) at 0000000A while 0A gets 0000008E? iconic chaos, we respect it 💀
anyway 40 arrives and it's giving "we're doing actual letters now" energy ✨

also lowkey note that some slots are just not there —42,44,52,56,62,66,72,76— that's not a typo on my end, the table literally skips them, don't come for me 🙈
then 80 hits and it's just vibes, alphabet era, the lowercase girlies are all lined up 💜

again, 8F and AF and B3 are absent from the table, that's just how it is, we're not inventing rows 💅

the table literally keeps going from here, don't go anywhere 👀

okay so that's the last block of the table — <pink>digits 0 through 9</pink> chilling in F0–F9 (iconic, no notes), then a whole lil Czech/Hungarian moment with D WITH CARON, U WITH DOUBLE ACUTE, U WITH DIAERESIS, T WITH CARON and U WITH ACUTE in FA–FE — and then FF just casually drops APPLICATION PROGRAM COMMAND (APC) like it's not a whole control character sitting at the end of your digit row 💀 that's the table bestie, we're done, we ate 🍓
