NAME
MARC::Charset::Code - represents a MARC-8/UTF-8 mapping
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Each mapping from a MARC-8 value to a UTF-8 value is represented by a MARC::Charset::Code object in a MARC::Charset::Table.
METHODS
new()
The constructor.
name()
A descriptive name for the code point.
marc()
A string representing the MARC-8 bytes codes.
ucs()
A string representing the UCS code point in hex.
charset_code()
The MARC-8 character set code.
is_combining()
Returns true/false to tell if the character is a combining character.
marc_left_half()
If the character is the right half of a "double diacritic", returns a hex string representing the MARC-8 value of the left half.
marc_right_half()
If the character is the left half of a "double diacritic", returns a hex string representing the MARC-8 value of the right half.
to_string()
A stringified version of the object suitable for pretty printing.
char_value()
Returns the unicode character. Essentially just a helper around ucs().
marc_value()
The string representing the MARC-8 encoding.
charset_name()
Returns the name of the character set, instead of the code.
to_string()
Returns a stringified version of the object.
marc8_hash_code()
Returns a hash code for this Code object for looking up the object using MARC8. First portion is the character set code and the second is the MARC-8 value.
utf8_hash_code()
Returns a hash code for uniquely identifying a Code by it's UCS value.
default_charset_group
Returns 'G0' or 'G1' indicating where the character is typicalling used in the MARC-8 environment.
get_marc8_escape
Returns an escape sequence to move to the Code from another marc-8 character set.
charset_value
Returns the charset value, not the hex sequence.
