Locale:...:IBM871(3)
💅 Locale::RecodeData::IBM871 — like, the whole vibe ✨
Okay bestie, so this is IBM871(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (yes, the perl one, section 3, iykyk) 🫶 — and it's literally the conversion-routine page for IBM871. Buckle up.
🌸 NAME 🌸
Locale::RecodeData::IBM871 — conversion routines for IBM871. That's it, that's the whole name, slay 💅
✨ SYNOPSIS ✨
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!Okay so real talk: this module is internal to libintl, and the manpage is screaming do NOT use it directly 😭 like it's not a suggestion, bestie, it's a warning. Hands off. No cap.
🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋
So this module is generated (not hand-written, it's giving autogenerated icon energy ✨) and it contains the conversion tables and routines for IBM871. That's the whole thing. Tables + routines. Periodt.
🎀 COMMENTS 🎀
These comments got extracted straight out of the original charmap — like, receipts, fr fr 👑
version: 1.0
source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990
alias CP871
alias EBCDIC-CP-ISSo we got version: 1.0, the source is IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990, and there are two aliases: CP871 and EBCDIC-CP-IS.
⚠️ And bestie, listen — the manpage literally says: "Please note that aliases listed above are not necessarily valid!" So like… those aliases might not actually work. Do not come for me if they don't. 💀 It's giving "trust issues" and honestly? Same.
🔥 CHARACTER TABLE 🔥
Heads up before we go any further, the following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap. Every single character code is in hexadecimal (hex girl summer 💅), and please read ISO-10646 as ISO-10646-UCS4 — that's the mapping, okay? Don't @ me, it's in the source. 🌈
🧚 The actual table drops in the next part, so don't go anywhere — we're so not done yet 💖
okay bestie we're jumping in mid-table, no recap needed, just vibes and hex 💅 the table's got three columns — Local (the IBM871 code point), ISO-10646 (the Unicode code point it maps to), and a Description that spells it out — and we're picking up right where we left off. First up: the control-character district, where everything is deeply unhinged and lowkey kind of iconic 🎀
