Locale:...:IBM875(3)

💅 Locale::RecodeData::IBM875(3) — bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk: this is a perl manual page, and the whole thing lives under User Contributed Perl Documentation. The full name of the thing is Locale::RecodeData::IBM875(3) — say that three times fast, iykyk. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Locale::RecodeData::IBM875 — literally just conversion routines for IBM875. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

This module is internal to libintl.  Do not use directly!

🫶 bestie, i need you to hear me on this one: this module is internal to libintl. Like, it's not for you. It's not for me. It's not for anybody's main character moment. Do not use directly! The exclamation point is doing a lot of emotional labor there and i respect it. 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this module is generated — like, nobody sat down and hand-wrote this, a machine made it — and what it contains is the conversion tables and the routines for IBM875. Tables + routines. That's the whole personality. slay, i guess. 💅

💜 COMMENTS 💜

These comments got extracted straight out of the original charmap, and i'm presenting them to you exactly as they came out. no edits, no filters, we respect the source material:

 version: 1.0
  source: UNICODE 1.0
 alias CP875
 alias EBCDIC-GREEK

so yeah: version 1.0, source UNICODE 1.0, and two aliases — CP875 and EBCDIC-GREEK. 🌈

🙈 important caveat incoming, do not scroll past: please note that the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! like, they're listed, but that doesn't mean they're gonna work out. it's giving "situationship," not "committed relationship." fr fr, don't @ me at the aliases.

👑 CHARACTER TABLE 👑

okay so here's where it gets iconic — there's a character table, and two things you need to know before you even look at it:

• The following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap. Same order, no reshuffling, we're not out here reorganizing anyone's furniture. 🎀
• All character codes are in hexadecimal. Every single one. hex girl summer. 🔥

And one more thing, because clarity is the moment: please read 'ISO-10646' as 'ISO-10646-UCS4'. Like, when you see the short one, think the long one. that's the assignment. ⭐

---

✨ and the table itself is up next — we're just getting started, there's more coming ✨

okay so we're picking up right in the middle of the character table — same three columns as before (Local, ISO-10646, Description), no header repeat, just vibes and hex. first up: the control zone. some of these will look familiar, some will have you like "???" but every single one is here, no skipping, no cap:

bestie look at that and tell me the local values aren't just doing whatever they want 😭 like 04 is STRING TERMINATOR, 07 is DELETE, and <hotpink>LINE FEED</hotpink> is chilling at 25?? and BELL is at 2F?? iconic behaviour honestly. also 25 | 0000000A | LINE FEED (LF) — yes, that's the one that actually matters to you, it's just not where your instincts say it should be. and ESCAPE (ESC) lives at 27. no notes, we love a chaotic little control block 💅

then 40 and up and we hit printables — and this is where it gets good, because the Greek letters start showing up:

okay a few things. no 6A row — the table literally jumps from 69 to 6B, not me being sloppy, that's just what's listed 🙈. and the punctuation is fully unhinged in the best way: 4A is LEFT SQUARE BRACKET, 5A is RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET, 5B is DOLLAR SIGN, 7B is NUMBER SIGN, 7C is COMMERCIAL AT, and 7F is a QUOTATION MARK which is lowkey sending me. also 74 | 00002207 | NABLA is out here with the only 5-hex-digit-ish code in the whole neighbourhood, main character energy fr fr ⭐

the Greek caps run in blocks: 41–49 (alpha through iota), then 51–59 (kappa through sigma, and yes 52 is LAMDA spelled like that, not mu), then 62–69, then the TONOS crew 71–78, with 68 and 69 rocking DIALYTIKA. keep all that spelling exactly as written, that's not a typo on my end, that's the table 💜

okay the Latin lowercase is almost alphabetical and then just doesn't finish: 81–89 is a through i, then it ghosts you and comes back at 91–99 for j through r, then A2–A9 for s through z. three separate chunks. it's giving "group project where nobody talked to each other" 💀 and squeezed in between: 8A–8F Greek small alpha→zeta, 9A–9F eta→mu, AA–AF nu→sigma, plus 90 DEGREE SIGN and A0 ACUTE ACCENT and A1 TILDE just vibing as speedbumps. and you know I clocked B4 | 00000390 | GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH DIALYTIKA AND TONOS — the whole two-adjectives combo, she's extra and she earned it 👑

           DD |  000000B7 | MIDDLE DOT

caps repeat the same grouping pattern: C1–C9 is A–I, D1–D9 is J–R, E2–E9 is S–Z. sandwiched between them: C0 LEFT CURLY BRACKET and D0 RIGHT CURLY BRACKET (they're split all the way across the alphabet, rude), E0 REVERSE SOLIDUS, CA SOFT HYPHEN</can> who does nothing and we respect her for it, CE/DE the single curly quotes, CF HORIZONTAL BAR, DA PLUS-MINUS SIGN, DB VULGAR FRACTION ONE HALF (her name is so dramatic, obsessed), DD MIDDLE DOT, DF BROKEN BAR, EA SUPERSCRIPT TWO, and EB SECTION SIGN. and Greek small OMEGA CB, IOTA WITH DIALYTIKA CC, UPSILON WITH DIALYTIKA CD close out the Greek party 🎀

also real talk: DC and E1 are not in the table — it goes DB → DD and E0 → E2. that's the page, not me dropping rows. same deal as 6A earlier. don't go inventing them, bestie 🙈

and that's genuinely where this chunk of the page cuts off — the table stops dead at EB, mid-pattern, no wrap-up, no goodbye. we are literally hanging off a cliff here 😭 more page coming, don't move 💜

okay bestie, the table is still going — here’s the rest of the character-table lineup, and every byte is iconic:

           EE |  000000AB | LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
           EF |  000000AC | NOT SIGN
           F0 |  00000030 | DIGIT ZERO
           F1 |  00000031 | DIGIT ONE
           F2 |  00000032 | DIGIT TWO
           F3 |  00000033 | DIGIT THREE
           F4 |  00000034 | DIGIT FOUR
           F5 |  00000035 | DIGIT FIVE
           F6 |  00000036 | DIGIT SIX
           F7 |  00000037 | DIGIT SEVEN
           F8 |  00000038 | DIGIT EIGHT
           F9 |  00000039 | DIGIT NINE
           FA |  000000B3 | SUPERSCRIPT THREE
           FB |  000000A9 | COPYRIGHT SIGN
           FE |  000000BB | RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
           FF |  0000009F | APPLICATION PROGRAM COMMAND (APC)

and that’s the end of the table, bestie — no skipped entries, no cap. 🫶
