Lingua::ZH::MacChinese::Traditional - transcoding between Mac OS Chinese Traditional encoding and Unicode
(1) using function names exported by default:
use Lingua::ZH::MacChinese::Traditional; $wchar = decodeMacChineseTrad($octet); $octet = encodeMacChineseTrad($wchar);
(2) using function names exported on request:
use Lingua::ZH::MacChinese::Traditional qw(decode encode); $wchar = decode($octet); $octet = encode($wchar);
(3) using function names fully qualified:
use Lingua::ZH::MacChinese::Traditional (); $wchar = Lingua::ZH::MacChinese::Traditional::decode($octet); $octet = Lingua::ZH::MacChinese::Traditional::encode($wchar); # $wchar : a string in Perl's Unicode format # $octet : a string in Mac OS Chinese Traditional encoding
This module provides transcoding from/to Mac OS Chinese Traditional encoding (denoted MacChineseTrad hereafter).
In order to ensure roundtrip mapping, MacChineseTrad encoding has some characters with mapping from a single MacChineseTrad character to a sequence of Unicode characters and vice versa. Such characters include 0x80 (MacChineseTrad) from/to 0x005C+0xF87F (Unicode) for "REVERSE SOLIDUS, alternate".
0x80
0x005C+0xF87F
"REVERSE SOLIDUS, alternate"
This module provides functions to transcode between MacChineseTrad and Unicode, without information loss for every MacChineseTrad character.
$wchar = decode($octet)
$wchar = decode($handler, $octet)
$wchar = decodeMacChineseTrad($octet)
$wchar = decodeMacChineseTrad($handler, $octet)
Converts MacChineseTrad to Unicode.
decodeMacChineseTrad() is an alias for decode() exported by default.
decodeMacChineseTrad()
decode()
If the $handler is not specified, any MacChineseTrad character that is not mapped to Unicode is deleted; if the $handler is a code reference, a string returned from that coderef is inserted there. if the $handler is a scalar reference, a string (a PV) in that reference (the referent) is inserted there.
$handler
PV
The 1st argument for the $handler coderef is a string of the unmapped MacChineseTrad character (e.g. "\xFC\xFE").
"\xFC\xFE"
$octet = encode($wchar)
$octet = encode($handler, $wchar)
$octet = encodeMacChineseTrad($wchar)
$octet = encodeMacChineseTrad($handler, $wchar)
Converts Unicode to MacChineseTrad.
encodeMacChineseTrad() is an alias for encode() exported by default.
encodeMacChineseTrad()
encode()
If the $handler is not specified, any Unicode character that is not mapped to MacChineseTrad is deleted; if the $handler is a code reference, a string returned from that coderef is inserted there. if the $handler is a scalar reference, a string (a PV) in that reference (the referent) is inserted there.
The 1st argument for the $handler coderef is the Unicode code point (unsigned integer) of the unmapped character.
E.g.
sub hexNCR { sprintf("&#x%x;", shift) } # hexadecimal NCR sub decNCR { sprintf("&#%d;" , shift) } # decimal NCR print encodeMacChineseTrad("ABC\x{100}\x{10000}"); # "ABC" print encodeMacChineseTrad(\"", "ABC\x{100}\x{10000}"); # "ABC" print encodeMacChineseTrad(\"?", "ABC\x{100}\x{10000}"); # "ABC??" print encodeMacChineseTrad(\&hexNCR, "ABC\x{100}\x{10000}"); # "ABCĀ𐀀" print encodeMacChineseTrad(\&decNCR, "ABC\x{100}\x{10000}"); # "ABCĀ𐀀"
