struct uni_pagedict โ€” unicode directory ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’–


๐ŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS ๐ŸŽ€

struct uni_pagedict {
    u16 **uni_pgdir[UNI_DIRS];
    unsigned long   refcount;
    unsigned long   sum;
    unsigned char   *inverse_translations[LAST_MAP + 1];
    u16 *inverse_trans_unicode;
 };

like, that's the whole vibe right there โ€” copy it exactly, no cap ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿซถ


๐Ÿฆ‹ Members ๐Ÿฆ‹

  • uni_pgdir โ€” the 32*32*64 table with glyphs โœจ this is the main character: a big multi-dimensional lookup situation holding all the glyph energy ๐Ÿ’ซ
  • refcount โ€” reference count of this structure ๐Ÿ”ข so like, how many people are currently holding hands with this struct ๐Ÿซถ when it hits zero, it's giving exit stage left ๐Ÿ’€
  • sum โ€” checksum ๐Ÿงฎ a lil number that keeps everybody honest, periodt
  • inverse_translations โ€” best-effort inverse mapping ๐ŸŒˆ it tries its best and honestly? we respect the effort ๐Ÿ™ˆ
  • inverse_trans_unicode โ€” best-effort inverse mapping to unicode ๐Ÿ’œ same deal, best-effort, no promises, still iconic ๐ŸŽ€

go read those next bestie, they're literally in the same file and they're slay ๐Ÿงšโญ


heads up: both inverse mapping members are described as best-effort โ€” that's the actual wording, so don't come for me if the mapping doesn't map perfectly ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ’…
