Locale:...ACINTOSH(3)
💖 Locale::RecodeData::MACINTOSH(3) 💖
okay bestie, quick vibe check first: this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and the page itself shows up in the header as Locale:...ACINTOSH(3). That truncated little guy is just the header doing its thing — the actual module is Locale::RecodeData::MACINTOSH, and that's what we're talking about. 🫶
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::MACINTOSH — conversion routines for MACINTOSH. that's it, that's the whole job. literally just converting stuff to and from MACINTOSH. slay. 💅
🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!okay so real talk: this module is internal to libintl. it's not for you, bestie. like, it's giving backstage-pass-only. do not use it directly. no cap, please don't. 🙈
🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋
So this module is generated — not hand-written, it's built — and it contains the conversion tables and routines for MACINTOSH. that's the whole description. short and iconic. ✨
🎀 COMMENTS 🎀
ngl the cutest part: the following comments have been extracted from the original charmap, and here they are in all their glory, verbatim:
version: 1.0
source: The Unicode Standard ver 1.0, ISBN 0-201-56788-1, Oct 1991
alias MAC🚨 important heads up, babes: please note that the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! like, don't just go assuming MAC works everywhere because you saw it here. the charmap said it, not me. 💀
👑 CHARACTER TABLE 👑
okay so the table that follows (coming at you in the next part, stay tuned bestie 💖) has some rules, and they're important:
- it's sorted in the same order as the original charmap — no reordering, no alphabetizing, we respect the source. periodt.
- all character codes are in hexadecimal. so like, hex girlies, this one's for you. 🔥
- and when you see
ISO-10646, please read it asISO-10646-UCS4. yes, that's the assignment. iykyk. 🌈
Okay so the table itself is the main character here, and she is long. Let's keep going, bestie — same three columns the whole way down: the Local byte on the left, the ISO-10646 code point in the middle, and the Description on the right. 💅
First up: the control characters, aka the gremlins of the byte world. Nothing to look at, everything to do. 🫶
