Locale:..._8859_4(3)
💅 Locale::RecodeData::ISO_8859_4 — the manual page, bestie edition
okay so first things first: this is a Perl manpage, section 3, straight outta User Contributed Perl Documentation. The module's full name is Locale::RecodeData::ISO_8859_4 and the manpage file itself is Locale:..._8859_4(3) — yes the title got abbreviated with ellipsis, it's giving "we ran out of room on the label" ✨
🌸 NAME 🌸
Locale::RecodeData::ISO_8859_4 — literally the conversion routines for ISO-8859-4. That's the whole assignment. 🎀
🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋
So here's the vibe check:
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!Bestie. Do not use directly. It's internal to libintl. That's it, that's the synopsis, no fancy invocation for you to copy. 🙈
💖 DESCRIPTION 💖
This module is generated — not hand-written, it's machine-made, okay — and it contains the conversion tables and routines for ISO-8859-4. Iconic. That's what it does. 🫶
🌈 COMMENTS 🌈
These comments were lifted straight out of the original charmap, no editing, no notes:
version: 1.0
source: ECMA registry
alias ISO-IR-110
alias ISO_8859-4:1988
alias ISO_8859-4
alias LATIN4
alias L4⚠️ real talk though — please note that the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! So don't come for me if one of them doesn't work, it literally says so right there 💀
🔥 CHARACTER TABLE 🔥
okay so this table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap. Every single character code is in hexadecimal, no cap, all hex 🌸
And one tiny but crucial note: when you're reading the table and you see 'ISO-10646', you need to read it as 'ISO-10646-UCS4'. Like, mentally swap it in. That's the whole correction. 💅
(and that's where part 1 wraps, the table itself is coming up next — stay tuned bestie 🍓)
okay so this is where the actual table lives, bestie, and it's long — so buckle up 🎀 every single row is here, hex on the left, the ISO-10646 / Unicode code point in the middle, the name on the right, nothing skipped, nothing merged, i would never 💅

and then 0x20 hits and the whole vibe shifts into actual printable characters, we love a glow-up ✨

now the 0x80–0x9F neighbourhood, and oof, we're back in control-character territory except now the ISO-10646 values still say 000000xx so they line up exactly with the local bytes 🌸

now for the actual ✨Latin-4 moment✨ — 0xA0 onwards is where this charset stops being ASCII-with-extras and starts having opinions. watch the middle column, because the local byte and the ISO-10646 value split up here and start living separate lives 💅

FF | 000002D9 | DOT ABOVE (Mandarin Chinese light tone)Okay bestie, that's the bottom chunk of the table right there 💅 from E7 all the way down to FF, and honestly? The last row ate. FF is 000002D9, which is the DOT ABOVE used for the Mandarin Chinese light tone — yes, in an ISO-8859-4 page, iconic crossover behavior, we love a multilingual queen 🫶. And F7 is just the plain old DIVISION SIGN, no letters, no accent drama, just math doing its thing ✨.
Also can we talk about how E9 is literally 000000E9? Baby's first round trip — the byte and the codepoint match exactly, highkey satisfying 🎀. And then F0 is 00000111 (LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH STROKE) and F1 is 00000146 (LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH CEDILLA) just out here living their best non-obvious lives 😭.
