💖 unicode::data — the manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk: this is the man page for unicode::data, from the 3tcl manual section, and its whole title vibe is Preparation of Internationalized Strings. no cap. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

unicode::data — unicode data tables, generated, internal

like. that's the whole name section. it's giving "i contain multitudes but also i am just tables". 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

package require Tcl 8.5 9
package require unicode::data 1.1.1

two lines, that's it, that's the whole entrance. she walks in, requires Tcl 8.5 9, requires unicode::data 1.1.1, and then refuses to elaborate. main character energy fr fr 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so. the unicode::data package is a helper for unicode — it's the ride-or-die bestie that hands over all the data tables unicode needs to actually do its functions. think of it as the friend holding your bag while you perform. 🫶

here's the important part though, and i need you to lock in: this is an internal package, and it should not be accessed on its own. periodt. it's not for you to call directly, bestie, it's backstage crew. 🚫

and because it's internal like that, it has no publicly documented API either. none. zero. the API is a mystery, the API is a locked diary with a tiny heart-shaped padlock. 🙈

also its implementation is generated by a script. it's not hand-written prose, it's machine-made lore. ✨

💀 BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK 💀

this document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. honestly? iconic of them to admit it upfront. 😭

please report any such bugs in the category stringprep of the Tcllib Trackers: http://core.tcl.tk/tcllib/reportlist

and please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have — for either the package and/or the documentation. we want the ideas. we love the ideas. bring them. 💜

when you're proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e. the output of diff -u. yes, specifically that. not vibes, not a screenshot, not "so basically what i'd change is". the actual diff. 🧚

also note further: attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. attach the file, don't paste the whole thing into the message. you can make an attachment by going to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar. that's the one. left-most. got it? 🎯
