Locale:...ACGREEK(3)
🦋 Locale::RecodeData::MACGREEK(3) — the MACGREEK era, bestie
okay so listen, this is Locale::RecodeData::MACGREEK, and it's a Perl thing from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and it is literally just here to do conversion routines for MACGREEK. that's the whole vibe. 💅
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::MACGREEK — conversion routines for MACGREEK. yes bestie, that's it, that's the name, and it ate. 🎀
🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!🫶 fr fr, this is not your moment. this module is internal to libintl and you should not use it directly. like, it's giving backstage-pass energy only. no cap. 💀
🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚
so this module is generated, right? it's not hand-written, it's built, and what it contains is the conversion tables and routines for MACGREEK. that's the whole job. tables, routines, MACGREEK, done. ✨
💜 COMMENTS 💜
the following comments have been extracted from the original charmap, and honestly they're iconic:
This charmap has been generated automatically from GNU libiconv
conversions.🙈 and please note that aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! like, don't come for me, the charmap said what it said. 💅
👑 CHARACTER TABLE 👑
okay so the following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap. all character codes are in hexadecimal — hex girl summer, we love to see it. 🌈
and a tiny but important note: please read ISO-10646 as ISO-10646-UCS4. that's the assignment, bestie, don't skip it. ⭐
okay so quick refresher before we dive back in 💅 the table has three columns and they go, left to right: Local (the byte value you're actually poking at), ISO-10646 (the big fancy codepoint number, zero-padded to eight digits because it loves being extra) and Description (the official name, shouted in all caps because Unicode does not do lowercase energy).
Here's the top of the run, the whole control-character zone:

1F | 0000001F | UNIT SEPARATOR (IS1)like… 00 to 1F is genuinely the "we don't really print these, we do things with them" zone 😭 every single one has a little three-letter nickname in brackets and honestly the nicknames ate — BEL for BELL, LF for LINE FEED, ESC for ESCAPE, iconic behaviour only.
then we hit the printable zone and it's smooth sailing the whole way through, all the way to 7E:

EC | 000003BB | GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDAthe typography girlies really took over D0–D6 — EN DASH, HORIZONTAL BAR, all four curly quote marks and DIVISION SIGN — and then it's tonos town, bestie 😭 D7 right through E0 is capital letters with tonos, DB–DE flips to small letters with tonos, and then from E1 onward it's plain small Greek letters just vibing alphabetically-ish.
and we're mid-Greek-small-letters right now — EC GREEK SMALL LETTER LAMDA is literally where the table cuts off in this chunk, so don't you dare think that's the end of it. the table keeps rolling and you already know there's more rows waiting to be read, so go on, scroll, we're picking it up right there. 🦋
okay so we're picking up right where the table left off — last chunk of the character table, bestie, and then we're done for real 🎀
