NAME

ShiftJIS::CP932::MapUTF - conversion between Microsoft Windows CP-932 and Unicode

SYNOPSIS

use ShiftJIS::CP932::MapUTF;

$unicode_string  = cp932_to_unicode($cp932_string);

DESCRIPTION

The Microsoft Windows CodePage 932 (CP-932) table comprises 7915 characters:

JIS X 0201:1997 single-byte characters (159 characters),
JIS X 0211:1994 single-byte characters (32 characters),
JIS X 0208:1997 double-byte characters (6879 characters),
NEC special characters (83 characters in SJIS row 13),
NEC-selected IBM extended characters (374 characters in SJIS rows 89..92),
and IBM extended characters (388 characters in SJIS rows 115..119).

It contains duplicates that do not round trip map. These duplicates are due to the characters defined by vendors, NEC and IBM.

For example, there are two characters that are mapped to U+2252; i.e., 0x81e0 (a JIS X 0208 character) and 0x8790 (an NEC special character).

This module provides some functions to map from Windows CP-932 to Unicode, and vice versa.

cp932_to_unicode(STRING)

cp932_to_unicode(CODEREF, STRING)

Converts Windows CP-932 to Unicode (UTF-8/UTF-EBCDIC as a Unicode-oriented perl knows).

For example, converts \x81\xe0 or \x87\x90 to U+2252 in Unicode.

Characters unmapped to Unicode are deleted, if CODEREF is not specified; otherwise, converted using the CODEREF from the Windows CP-932 character string.

For example, converts \x82\xf2 to U+3094, HIRAGANA LETTER VU, in Unicode.

cp932_to_unicode(
    sub { $_[0] eq "\x82\xf2" ? "\x{3094}" : "" },
    $cp932_string
);

cp932_to_utf16be(STRING)

cp932_to_utf16be(CODEREF, STRING)

Converts Windows CP-932 to UTF-16BE.

cp932_to_utf16le(STRING)

cp932_to_utf16le(CODEREF, STRING)

Converts Windows CP-932 to UTF-16LE.

For example, converts \x81\xe0 or \x87\x90 to U+2252 in the UTF-16LE encoding.

Characters unmapped to Unicode are deleted, if CODEREF is not specified; otherwise, converted using the CODEREF from the Windows CP-932 character string.

For example, converts \x82\xf2 to U+3094, HIRAGANA LETTER VU, in the UTF-16LE encoding.

cp932_to_utf16le(
   sub { $_[0] eq "\x82\xf2" ? "\x94\x30" : "" },
   $cp932_string
);

unicode_to_cp932(STRING)

unicode_to_cp932(CODEREF, STRING)

Converts Unicode (UTF-8/UTF-EBCDIC as a Unicode-oriented perl knows) to Windows CP-932 (normalized).

For example, U+2252 in the Unicode is converted to \x81\xe0, not to \x87\x90.

Characters unmapped to Windows CP-932 are deleted, if CODEREF is not specified; otherwise, converted using the CODEREF from its Unicode codepoint (integer).

For example, characters unmapped to Windows CP-932 are converted to numerical character references for HTML 4.01.

unicode_to_cp932(sub {sprintf "&#x%04x;", shift}, $unicode_string);

utf16be_to_cp932(STRING)

utf16be_to_cp932(CODEREF, STRING)

Converts UTF-16BE to Windows CP-932 (normalized).

utf16le_to_cp932(STRING)

utf16le_to_cp932(CODEREF, STRING)

Converts UTF-16LE to Windows CP-932 (normalized).

For example, U+2252 in the UTF-16LE encoding is converted to \x81\xe0, not to \x87\x90.

Characters unmapped to Windows CP-932 are deleted, if CODEREF is not specified; otherwise, converted using the CODEREF from its Unicode codepoint (integer).

For example, characters unmapped to Windows CP-932 are converted to numerical character references for HTML 4.01.

utf16le_to_cp932(sub {sprintf "&#x%04x;", shift}, $utf16LE_string);

CAVEAT

This module up to version 0.07 had treated with "encoded UTF-8", via cp932_to_utf8() and utf8_to_cp932(), but these functions are obsolete.
