UNICODE::COLLATE::CJK::PINYIN(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this page is Unicode...::Pinyin(3pm) from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and it's all about the module below — hi bestie, stay awhile 🫶✨

Unicode::Collate::CJK::Pinyin is literally here for weighting CJK Unified Ideographs for Unicode::Collate — that's the whole vibe 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Unicode::Collate;
use Unicode::Collate::CJK::Pinyin;

my $collator = Unicode::Collate->new(
    overrideCJK => \&Unicode::Collate::CJK::Pinyin::weightPinyin
);

no cap, that's the setup: you load Unicode::Collate, you load Unicode::Collate::CJK::Pinyin, then you point overrideCJK at \&Unicode::Collate::CJK::Pinyin::weightPinyin 🌸

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Unicode::Collate::CJK::Pinyin provides weightPinyin(), and that function is adequate for overrideCJK of Unicode::Collate 💖

it also makes tailoring of CJK Unified Ideographs in the order of CLDR's pinyin ordering — icon behavior, honestly 👑

---

⚠️ CAVEAT ⚠️

heads up bestie, the pinyin ordering includes some characters that are not CJK Unified Ideographs, and those can't utilize weightPinyin() for collation 😭

for them, use entry instead — periodt 🫶
