Locale:...a::UTF_8(3)

🦋 Locale::RecodeData::UTF_8(3) — the perl one, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation 💅

okay so real talk bestie, this one's an internal little gremlin page. Let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

Locale::RecodeData::UTF_8 — conversion routines for UTF-8. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

This module is internal to libintl. Do not use directly! 🚨

like... seriously. hands off. it's not for you (affectionate). 🙈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this module contains the conversion tables for UTF-8. it's capable of converting from UTF-8 to the internal format of libintl-perl and vice versa. icon behavior, lowkey 🫶

but bestie, hear me — it is only suitable for Perl versions <= 5.8.0. yeah. ancient. and the good news? you do not have to bother about version checking at all, because Locale::Recode(3) will do that for you. main character energy: it handles the admin, you just vibe ⭐
