NAME

MARC::Charset::ArabicBasic - A MARC8/UTF8 mapping for Basic Arabic.

SYNOPSIS

use MARC::Charset::ArabicBasic;
my $cs = MARC::Charset::ArabicBasic->new();

DESCRIPTION

MARC::Charset::ArabicBasic provides a mapping between the MARC8 Basic Arabic character set and Unicode(UTF8). It is typically used by MARC::Charset, so you probably don't need to use this yourself. It inherits from MARC::Charset::Generic so you will have to look at those docs to see all the methods you can call.

METHODS

The constructor, which will return you a MARC::Charset::ArabicBasic object.

lookup()

The workhorse method that does the lookup. Pass it an a character and you'll get back the UTF8 character.

combining()

Pass it a character and you'll get back a true value (1) if the character is a combining character, and false (undef) if it is not.

TODO

  • Nothing
