318 =head1 NAME
320 charnames - define character names for C<\N{named}> string literal escapes
322 =head1 SYNOPSIS
324 use charnames ':full';
325 print "\N{GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA} is called sigma.\n";
327 use charnames ':short';
328 print "\N{greek:Sigma} is an upper-case sigma.\n";
330 use charnames qw(cyrillic greek);
331 print "\N{sigma} is Greek sigma, and \N{be} is Cyrillic b.\n";
333 use charnames ":full", ":alias" => {
334 e_ACUTE => "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE",
336 print "\N{e_ACUTE} is a small letter e with an acute.\n";
338 use charnames ();
339 print charnames::viacode(0x1234); # prints "ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE SEE"
340 printf "%04X", charnames::vianame("GOTHIC LETTER AHSA"); # prints "10330"
342 =head1 DESCRIPTION
344 Pragma C<use charnames> supports arguments C<:full>, C<:short>, script
345 names and customized aliases. If C<:full> is present, for expansion of
346 C<\N{CHARNAME}>, the string C<CHARNAME> is first looked up in the list of
347 standard Unicode character names. If C<:short> is present, and
348 C<CHARNAME> has the form C<SCRIPT:CNAME>, then C<CNAME> is looked up
349 as a letter in script C<SCRIPT>. If pragma C<use charnames> is used
350 with script name arguments, then for C<\N{CHARNAME}> the name
351 C<CHARNAME> is looked up as a letter in the given scripts (in the
352 specified order). Customized aliases are explained in L</CUSTOM ALIASES>.
354 For lookup of C<CHARNAME> inside a given script C<SCRIPTNAME>
355 this pragma looks for the names
357 SCRIPTNAME CAPITAL LETTER CHARNAME
358 SCRIPTNAME SMALL LETTER CHARNAME
359 SCRIPTNAME LETTER CHARNAME
361 in the table of standard Unicode names. If C<CHARNAME> is lowercase,
362 then the C<CAPITAL> variant is ignored, otherwise the C<SMALL> variant
363 is ignored.
365 Note that C<\N{...}> is compile-time, it's a special form of string
366 constant used inside double-quoted strings: in other words, you cannot
367 use variables inside the C<\N{...}>. If you want similar run-time
368 functionality, use charnames::vianame().
370 For the C0 and C1 control characters (U+0000..U+001F, U+0080..U+009F)
371 as of Unicode 3.1, there are no official Unicode names but you can use
372 instead the ISO 6429 names (LINE FEED, ESCAPE, and so forth). In
373 Unicode 3.2 (as of Perl 5.8) some naming changes take place ISO 6429
374 has been updated, see L</ALIASES>. Also note that the U+UU80, U+0081,
375 U+0084, and U+0099 do not have names even in ISO 6429.
377 Since the Unicode standard uses "U+HHHH", so can you: "\N{U+263a}"
378 is the Unicode smiley face, or "\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}".
380 =head1 CUSTOM TRANSLATORS
382 The mechanism of translation of C<\N{...}> escapes is general and not
383 hardwired into F<charnames.pm>. A module can install custom
384 translations (inside the scope which C<use>s the module) with the
385 following magic incantation:
387 use charnames (); # for $charnames::hint_bits
388 sub import {
389 shift;
390 $^H |= $charnames::hint_bits;
391 $^H{charnames} = \&translator;
394 Here translator() is a subroutine which takes C<CHARNAME> as an
395 argument, and returns text to insert into the string instead of the
396 C<\N{CHARNAME}> escape. Since the text to insert should be different
397 in C<bytes> mode and out of it, the function should check the current
398 state of C<bytes>-flag as in:
400 use bytes (); # for $bytes::hint_bits
401 sub translator {
402 if ($^H & $bytes::hint_bits) {
403 return bytes_translator(@_);
405 else {
406 return utf8_translator(@_);
410 =head1 CUSTOM ALIASES
412 This version of charnames supports three mechanisms of adding local
413 or customized aliases to standard Unicode naming conventions (:full)
415 =head2 Anonymous hashes
417 use charnames ":full", ":alias" => {
418 e_ACUTE => "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE",
420 my $str = "\N{e_ACUTE}";
422 =head2 Alias file
424 use charnames ":full", ":alias" => "pro";
426 will try to read "unicore/pro_alias.pl" from the @INC path. This
427 file should return a list in plain perl:
430 A_GRAVE => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE",
431 A_CIRCUM => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX",
432 A_DIAERES => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS",
433 A_TILDE => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH TILDE",
434 A_BREVE => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE",
435 A_RING => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE",
436 A_MACRON => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH MACRON",
439 =head2 Alias shortcut
441 use charnames ":alias" => ":pro";
443 works exactly the same as the alias pairs, only this time,
444 ":full" is inserted automatically as first argument (if no
445 other argument is given).
447 =head1 charnames::viacode(code)
449 Returns the full name of the character indicated by the numeric code.
450 The example
452 print charnames::viacode(0x2722);
454 prints "FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK".
456 Returns undef if no name is known for the code.
458 This works only for the standard names, and does not yet apply
459 to custom translators.
461 Notice that the name returned for of U+FEFF is "ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK
462 SPACE", not "BYTE ORDER MARK".
464 =head1 charnames::vianame(name)
466 Returns the code point indicated by the name.
467 The example
469 printf "%04X", charnames::vianame("FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK");
471 prints "2722".
473 Returns undef if the name is unknown.
475 This works only for the standard names, and does not yet apply
476 to custom translators.
478 =head1 ALIASES
480 A few aliases have been defined for convenience: instead of having
481 to use the official names
483 LINE FEED (LF)
484 FORM FEED (FF)
485 CARRIAGE RETURN (CR)
486 NEXT LINE (NEL)
488 (yes, with parentheses) one can use
490 LINE FEED
491 FORM FEED
492 CARRIAGE RETURN
493 NEXT LINE
499 One can also use
501 BYTE ORDER MARK
506 ZWNJ
509 for ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER and ZERO WIDTH JOINER.
511 For backward compatibility one can use the old names for
512 certain C0 and C1 controls
514 old new
516 HORIZONTAL TABULATION CHARACTER TABULATION
517 VERTICAL TABULATION LINE TABULATION
518 FILE SEPARATOR INFORMATION SEPARATOR FOUR
519 GROUP SEPARATOR INFORMATION SEPARATOR THREE
520 RECORD SEPARATOR INFORMATION SEPARATOR TWO
521 UNIT SEPARATOR INFORMATION SEPARATOR ONE
522 PARTIAL LINE DOWN PARTIAL LINE FORWARD
523 PARTIAL LINE UP PARTIAL LINE BACKWARD
525 but the old names in addition to giving the character
526 will also give a warning about being deprecated.
528 =head1 ILLEGAL CHARACTERS
530 If you ask by name for a character that does not exist, a warning is
531 given and the Unicode I<replacement character> "\x{FFFD}" is returned.
533 If you ask by code for a character that does not exist, no warning is
534 given and C<undef> is returned. (Though if you ask for a code point
535 past U+10FFFF you do get a warning.)
537 =head1 BUGS
539 Since evaluation of the translation function happens in a middle of
540 compilation (of a string literal), the translation function should not
541 do any C<eval>s or C<require>s. This restriction should be lifted in
542 a future version of Perl.
