46 =head1 NAME
48 C4::Charset - utilities for handling character set conversions.
50 =head1 SYNOPSIS
52 use C4::Charset;
54 =head1 DESCRIPTION
56 This module contains routines for dealing with character set
57 conversions, particularly for MARC records.
59 A variety of character encodings are in use by various MARC
60 standards, and even more character encodings are used by
61 non-standard MARC records. The various MARC formats generally
62 do not do a good job of advertising a given record's character
63 encoding, and even when a record does advertise its encoding,
64 e.g., via the Leader/09, experience has shown that one cannot
65 trust it.
67 Ultimately, all MARC records are stored in Koha in UTF-8 and
68 must be converted from whatever the source character encoding is.
69 The goal of this module is to ensure that these conversions
70 take place accurately. When a character conversion cannot take
71 place, or at least not accurately, the module was provide
72 enough information to allow user-facing code to inform the user
73 on how to deal with the situation.

77 =head1 FUNCTIONS
79 =head2 IsStringUTF8ish
81 my $is_utf8 = IsStringUTF8ish($str);
83 Determines if C<$str> is valid UTF-8. This can mean
84 one of two things:
86 =over
88 =item *
90 The Perl UTF-8 flag is set and the string contains valid UTF-8.
92 =item *
94 The Perl UTF-8 flag is B<not> set, but the octets contain
95 valid UTF-8.
97 =back
99 The function is named C<IsStringUTF8ish> instead of C<IsStringUTF8>
100 because in one could be presented with a MARC blob that is
101 not actually in UTF-8 but whose sequence of octets appears to be
102 valid UTF-8. The rest of the MARC character conversion functions
103 will assume that this situation occur does not very often.
105 =cut
107 sub IsStringUTF8ish {
108 my $str = shift;
110 return 1 if utf8::is_utf8($str);
111 return utf8::decode($str);
114 =head2 SetUTF8Flag
116 my $marc_record = SetUTF8Flag($marc_record, $nfd);
118 This function sets the PERL UTF8 flag for data.
119 It is required when using new_from_usmarc
120 since MARC::File::USMARC does not handle PERL UTF8 setting.
121 When editing unicode marc records fields and subfields, you
122 would end up in double encoding without using this function.
124 If $nfd is set, string normalization will use NFD instead of NFC
126 FIXME
127 In my opinion, this function belongs to MARC::Record and not
128 to this package.
129 But since it handles charset, and MARC::Record, it finds its way in that package

153 =head2 NormalizeString
155 my $normalized_string=NormalizeString($string,$nfd,$transform);
157 Given a string
158 nfd : If you want to set NFD and not NFC
159 transform : If you expect all the signs to be removed
161 Sets the PERL UTF8 Flag on your initial data if need be
162 and applies cleaning if required
164 Returns a utf8 NFC normalized string

191 =head2 MarcToUTF8Record

194 $marc_flavour, [, $source_encoding]);
196 Given a MARC blob or a C<MARC::Record>, the MARC flavour, and an
197 optional source encoding, return a C<MARC::Record> that is
198 converted to UTF-8.
200 The returned C<$marc_record> is guaranteed to be in valid UTF-8, but
201 is not guaranteed to have been converted correctly. Specifically,
202 if C<$converted_from> is 'failed', the MARC record returned failed
203 character conversion and had each of its non-ASCII octets changed
204 to the Unicode replacement character.
206 If the source encoding was not specified, this routine will
207 try to guess it; the character encoding used for a successful
208 conversion is returned in C<$converted_from>.

359 Given a string, return a copy with the

363 This function exists to work around a problem
364 that can occur with badly-encoded MARC records.
365 Specifically, if a UTF-8 MARC record also
366 has excape (\x1b) characters, MARC::File::XML
367 will let the escape characters pass through
368 when as_xml() or as_xml_record() is called. The
369 problem is that the escape character is not
370 legal in well-formed XML documents, so when
371 MARC::File::XML attempts to parse such a record,
372 the XML parser will fail.
374 Stripping such characters will allow a
375 MARC::Record->new_from_xml()
376 to work, at the possible risk of some data loss.

693 Convert a C<MARC::Record> to UTF-8 in-place, adopting the
694 unsatisfactory method of replacing all non-ASCII (e.g.,
695 where the eight bit is set) octet with the Unicode
696 replacement character. This is meant as a last-ditch
697 method, and would be best used as part of a UI that
698 lets a cataloguer pick various character conversions
699 until he or she finds the right one.
