350
35c0985d
MB
351Pragma C<use charnames> supports arguments C<:full>, C<:short>, script
352names and customized aliases. If C<:full> is present, for expansion of
76ae0c45
RGS
353C<\N{CHARNAME}>, the string C<CHARNAME> is first looked up in the list of
354standard Unicode character names. If C<:short> is present, and
423cee85
JH
355C<CHARNAME> has the form C<SCRIPT:CNAME>, then C<CNAME> is looked up
356as a letter in script C<SCRIPT>. If pragma C<use charnames> is used
a191c821 357with script name arguments, then for C<\N{CHARNAME}> the name
423cee85 358C<CHARNAME> is looked up as a letter in the given scripts (in the
35c0985d 359specified order). Customized aliases are explained in L</CUSTOM ALIASES>.
423cee85
JH
360
361For lookup of C<CHARNAME> inside a given script C<SCRIPTNAME>
d5448623 362this pragma looks for the names
423cee85
JH
363
364 SCRIPTNAME CAPITAL LETTER CHARNAME
365 SCRIPTNAME SMALL LETTER CHARNAME
366 SCRIPTNAME LETTER CHARNAME
367
368in the table of standard Unicode names. If C<CHARNAME> is lowercase,
daf0d493
JH
369then the C<CAPITAL> variant is ignored, otherwise the C<SMALL> variant
370is ignored.
371
372Note that C<\N{...}> is compile-time, it's a special form of string
373constant used inside double-quoted strings: in other words, you cannot
4e2cda5d 374use variables inside the C<\N{...}>. If you want similar run-time
daf0d493 375functionality, use charnames::vianame().
423cee85 376
301a3cda 377For the C0 and C1 control characters (U+0000..U+001F, U+0080..U+009F)
dbc0d4f2
JH
378as of Unicode 3.1, there are no official Unicode names but you can use
379instead the ISO 6429 names (LINE FEED, ESCAPE, and so forth). In
380Unicode 3.2 (as of Perl 5.8) some naming changes take place ISO 6429
381has been updated, see L</ALIASES>. Also note that the U+UU80, U+0081,
382U+0084, and U+0099 do not have names even in ISO 6429.
383
384Since the Unicode standard uses "U+HHHH", so can you: "\N{U+263a}"
385is the Unicode smiley face, or "\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}".

437=head1 CUSTOM ALIASES
438
439This version of charnames supports three mechanisms of adding local
440or customized aliases to standard Unicode naming conventions (:full)
441
442=head2 Anonymous hashes
443
444 use charnames ":full", ":alias" => {
445 e_ACUTE => "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE",
446 };
447 my $str = "\N{e_ACUTE}";
448
449=head2 Alias file
450
451 use charnames ":full", ":alias" => "pro";
452
453 will try to read "unicore/pro_alias.pl" from the @INC path. This
454 file should return a list in plain perl:
455
456 (
457 A_GRAVE => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE",
458 A_CIRCUM => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX",
459 A_DIAERES => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS",
460 A_TILDE => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH TILDE",
461 A_BREVE => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE",
462 A_RING => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE",
463 A_MACRON => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH MACRON",
464 );
465
466=head2 Alias shortcut
467
468 use charnames ":alias" => ":pro";

470 works exactly the same as the alias pairs, only this time,
471 ":full" is inserted automatically as first argument (if no
472 other argument is given).

474=head1 charnames::viacode(code)
475
476Returns the full name of the character indicated by the numeric code.
477The example
478
479 print charnames::viacode(0x2722);
480
481prints "FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK".
482

483Returns undef if no name is known for the code.

486to custom translators.

488Notice that the name returned for of U+FEFF is "ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK
489SPACE", not "BYTE ORDER MARK".

494The example
495
496 printf "%04X", charnames::vianame("FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK");
497
498prints "2722".

507The mechanism of translation of C<\N{...}> escapes is general and not
508hardwired into F<charnames.pm>. A module can install custom
509translations (inside the scope which C<use>s the module) with the
510following magic incantation:
52ea3e69 511
5ffe0e96
MB
512 sub import {
513 shift;
514 $^H{charnames} = \&translator;
515 }

MB
517Here translator() is a subroutine which takes C<CHARNAME> as an
518argument, and returns text to insert into the string instead of the
519C<\N{CHARNAME}> escape. Since the text to insert should be different
520in C<bytes> mode and out of it, the function should check the current
521state of C<bytes>-flag as in:
52ea3e69 522
5ffe0e96
MB
523 use bytes (); # for $bytes::hint_bits
524 sub translator {
525 if ($^H & $bytes::hint_bits) {
526 return bytes_translator(@_);
527 }
528 else {
529 return utf8_translator(@_);
530 }
531 }

535If you ask by name for a character that does not exist, a warning is
536given and the Unicode I<replacement character> "\x{FFFD}" is returned.
537
538If you ask by code for a character that does not exist, no warning is
539given and C<undef> is returned. (Though if you ask for a code point
540past U+10FFFF you do get a warning.)

543
544Since evaluation of the translation function happens in a middle of
545compilation (of a string literal), the translation function should not
546do any C<eval>s or C<require>s. This restriction should be lifted in
547a future version of Perl.
