Locale:...:IBM918(3)
🎀 NAME 🎀
okay so welcome to the Locale:...:IBM918(3) manual page, bestie ✨ — the main character here is Locale::RecodeData::IBM918, and it's literally all about conversion routines for IBM918 💅
🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸
read this part carefully, okay?
🚨 This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!
like, no cap, do not use it directly 🙈
💖 DESCRIPTION 💖
This module is generated and contains the conversion tables and routines for IBM918. yes bestie, generated — it's giving "I was built for this" energy 👑
🦋 COMMENTS 🦋
The following comments have been extracted from the original charmap:
version: 1.0source: IBM NLS RM Vol2 SE09-8002-01, March 1990alias CP918alias EBCDIC-CP-AR2
not me pulling up receipts from the original charmap 🧾✨
⚠️ Please note that aliases listed above are not necessarily valid!
okay bestie, this is the part where we get to the actual chart, and it is a lot, but it's also lowkey the whole point so we're doing all of it, no skips, no cap 💅
🎀 CHARACTER TABLE 🎀
so first, the ground rules for reading this thing — the original charmap ordering is preserved, everything's in hex, and yes, <italic>ISO-10646</italic> is shorthand:
The following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap. All character codes are in hexadecimal. Please readISO-10646asISO-10646-UCS4.
and here's the whole thing, exactly as it lives, every single row, not one dropped 👑:
