Locale:...EC_P27_1(3)
💖 NAME 💖
okay so bestie, this is Locale::RecodeData::IEC_P27_1 — literally just conversion routines for IEC_P27_1. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨
this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and the header on it reads Locale:...EC_P27_1(3) — iconique, we love a truncated header 🎀
🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋
ngl this is the important part, so read it twice:
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!
like. do not use it directly. i'm so serious. it's giving "staff only" door energy 💅
🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸
so this module is generated (not hand-written, bestie, a machine made it) and it contains the conversion tables and routines for IEC_P27-1. that's the whole job. lowkey iconic of it 🫶
🎀 COMMENTS 🎀
the following comments were extracted from the original charmap, and yes i'm including them verbatim because they ate:
version: 1.0
source: ECMA registry
alias ISO-IR-143⚠️ okay important heads-up: please note that the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! like, don't just trust them blindly, bestie 😭
👑 CHARACTER TABLE 👑
the following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap — no reshuffling, no funny business, periodt 💅
all character codes are in hexadecimal, fr fr. and please read ISO-10646 as ISO-10646-UCS4 — that's the rule, i don't make them, i just relay them 🌈
(more coming, bestie — this was just part 1 🧚)
okay so picking right back up with the character table 💅 — and bestie, we are going row by row, all of it, because every single one of these little guys is somebody's fave and we don't do "etc." in this house.
Quick refresher on what you're looking at: three columns, Local (the byte you actually see), ISO-10646 (the code point behind it), and Description (the name). Here's the header in all its glory ✨
Local | ISO-10646 | Description
-------+-----------+-------------------------------------------------🫶 0x00–0x1F — the control characters
okay so these are the non-printing ones, the invisible girlies, the ones that make your terminal do stuff instead of showing stuff. The pattern is chef's kiss consistent: 00 local lines up with 00000000, 01 with 00000001, and so on — the low byte just echoes the local column the whole way down. No cap 🔥

🎀 0x20–0x3F — space, punctuation, and the digits
the moment the table starts showing you actual visible characters!! 20 is a whole SPACE (yes it counts, she's a character too, respect her 👑), and then it's straight into punctuation city. Also note the digits start at 30 and count up in order — DIGIT ZERO through DIGIT NINE, one per byte, 00000030 to 00000039. iconic behaviour, no notes ⭐

💜 0x40–0x5F — @ and then the alphabet (caps edition)
40 is COMMERCIAL AT — the at-sign, the email girlie, the one who shows up in every cron line you've ever written — and then 41 through 5A is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A through Z, clean, in order, no drama. After Z it's brackets and the rest of the punctuation squad 🦋

backtick first (GRAVE ACCENT, 60), then 61–7A is LATIN SMALL LETTER A through Z — lowercase slay 💅 — then more brackets, then 7E TILDE, and finally 7F DELETE (DEL) just sitting there at the end of the block like a bouncer.

🙈 0x80–0x9F — the other control block
plot twist bestie: it's not over. 80–9F is another run of control characters, and notice how the ISO-10646 column still matches the local byte one-for-one — 00000080 through 0000009F. Same pattern as the top of the table. The way that consistency ate 🍓

🔥 0xA0–0xBF — the math girlies enter
this is where it gets fun. from here on the ISO-10646 column stops matching the local byte — A0 maps to 000002C7, not 000000A0. The first one is a CARON (Mandarin Chinese third tone) which is such a specific and iconic way to open a math block 🌈 and then it's just symbols, symbols, symbols — IDENTICAL TO, LOGICAL AND, LOGICAL OR, set theory everywhere, then arrows, then a pile of comparison operators, INTEGRAL, CONTOUR INTEGRAL, INFINITY, NABLA, PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL… the calculus girlies are fed today 👑

👑 0xC0–0xDF — Greek caps, geometry, and a Hebrew letter
C0 is a whole curveball — HEBREW LETTER ALEF (000005D0) — then WHITE SQUARE, PARALLEL TO, and from C3 the Greek capitals roll in: GAMMA, DELTA, THETA, LAMDA, XI, PI, SIGMA, UPSILON, PHI, PSI, OMEGA. plus angle brackets, PRIME and DOUBLE PRIME, MINUS-OR-PLUS SIGN, superscripts two and three, MULTIPLICATION SIGN, MIDDLE DOT, EMPTY SET, a RIGHTWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB UPWARDS, SQUARE ROOT, LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK, PROPORTIONAL TO, and PLUS-MINUS SIGN. a lot happening and I'm obsessed 🦋

E0 DEGREE SIGN, E1–E9 runs GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA through IOTA, then KAPPA, LAMDA, MU, NU, XI, a PER MILLE SIGN sneaking in at EF like it's not surrounded by Greek 🎀 then PI, RHO, SIGMA, DIVISION SIGN, and TAU through PSI to close us out at F8.
