NAME

Jcode::Unicode - Aux. routines for Jcode

DESCRIPTION

This module is called by Jcode.pm on demand. This module is not intended for direct use by users. This modules implements functions related to Unicode. Following functions are defined here;

Jcode::ucs2_euc();
Jcode::euc_ucs2();
Jcode::ucs2_utf8();
Jcode::utf8_ucs2();
Jcode::euc_utf8();
Jcode::utf8_euc();

VARIABLES

$Jcode::Unicode::PEDANTIC

When set to non-zero, x-to-unicode conversion becomes pedantic. That is, '\' (chr(0x5c)) is converted to zenkaku backslash and '~" (chr(0x7e)) to JIS-x0212 tilde.

By Default, Jcode::Unicode leaves ascii ([0x00-0x7f]) as it is.

BUGS

This module is slow on initialization because it has to load entire UCS2 to EUC table (and vice versa when necessary). Once inited, the speed is OK.

As you might have guessed, EUC <-> UTF8 conversion is implemented as EUC <-> UCS2 <-> UTF8 conversion so performance sucks.
