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

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

161 Given a string
162 nfd : If you want to set NFD and not NFC

165 Sets the PERL UTF8 Flag on your initial data if need be

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

363 Given a string, return a copy with the

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

698 unsatisfactory method of replacing all non-ASCII (e.g.,
699 where the eight bit is set) octet with the Unicode
700 replacement character. This is meant as a last-ditch
701 method, and would be best used as part of a UI that
702 lets a cataloguer pick various character conversions
703 until he or she finds the right one.
