Locale:...:MACTHAI(3)
💅 Locale::RecodeData::MACTHAI(3) — the vibe
okay so, bestie, quick orientation: this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, section 3 — the manual name is Locale::RecodeData::MACTHAI. Yes the header line has a cute little Locale:...: ellipsis thing going on, but the actual module we're talking about is the MACTHAI one. Got it? Good. 🫶
✨ NAME ✨
Locale::RecodeData::MACTHAI — literally just the conversion routines for MACTHAI. That's the whole job. 🎀
🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸
⚠️ okay so this is the important bit, no cap:
This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly!
Like, fr fr — it's giving backstage-pass-only energy. It's not for you, it's for libintl doing its thing. 💀
🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋
So this module is generated — nobody hand-wrote it, it just exists — and it contains the conversion tables and routines for MACTHAI. That's it. That's the whole personality. ✨
💜 COMMENTS 💜
The following comments have been extracted from the original charmap:
This charmap has been generated automatically from GNU libiconv
conversions.So yeah, automatically generated from GNU libiconv conversions — icon, honestly. 👑
🙈 tiny heads-up: please note that the aliases listed above are not necessarily valid! Like, don't just trust them blindly, bestie.
🔥 CHARACTER TABLE 🔥
Here's the tea about the table that's coming: the following table is sorted in the same order as the original charmap. All character codes are in hexadecimal. And when your eyes hit 'ISO-10646', you read it as 'ISO-10646-UCS4'. Periodt. 💅
(...and that's the setup — the actual character table is up next, so stay tuned 🌈)
okay bestie, deep breath 🫶 — this is the part where the page stops explaining and just drops the entire table on you. And honestly? It ate. Because this is literally every byte in the MACTHAI locale, what ISO-10646 code point it turns into, and the official Unicode name of that character. Three columns, no cap:
- Local — the actual byte, in hex, from
00all the way toFA. 👑 - ISO-10646 — the code point it maps to, printed all 8 digits wide.
- Description — the character's official name, plus its abbreviation in parens when it's got one.
Same header, every chunk. Let's go. 💅
🍼 00–1F — the control characters (invisible main character energy)
Nothing to see here, but everything to feel — these are your classic control codes, and every single one keeps its plain ASCII meaning. Also yes, 10 is DATALINK ESCAPE (DLE) and not the more common DATA LINK ESCAPE — that's what the table says, so that's what we're saying. 🙈

High half time, and it's giving chaos in the best way. You've got your fancy punctuation — angle quotes, a HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS, curly double and single quotes, a BULLET — and then a whole swarm of private-use code points in F88B–F899 that the page just labels E<lt>CJKE<gt>.
A little note on that: the E<lt> and E<gt> bits are just POD escaping for angle brackets, so in real life those labels read <CJKE>. Keeping them exactly as the page prints them though, because facts are facts. 💖
Also: there's no 90 row. The table just skips it. Not me making stuff up — it's genuinely not there. 💀

A0 is a NO-BREAK SPACE (one last breather), and then from A1 onward it's wall-to-wall Thai characters, code points marching cleanly from 0E01 up to 0E3A. Consonants first — KO KAI through HO NOKHUK — then the vowel signs and marks from SARA A down to PHINTHU. Every one of these is named THAI CHARACTER something, and yes the names are in all caps, that's just how Unicode names roll. Periodt. 🎀

Bestie, this stretch is a journey. It opens with two invisible legends — ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE at FEFF and ZERO WIDTH SPACE at 200B — then hits you with EN DASH and EM DASH, then the THAI CURRENCY SYMBOL BAHT, then the vowel signs SARA E through SARA AI MAIMALAI, then the diacritic marks all the way to NIKHAHIT. And then, completely unbothered, two icons sneak in: TRADE MARK SIGN and, breathing hard at the end of the block, THAI CHARACTER FONGMAN. 🔥
