349=head1 DESCRIPTION
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}".

387=head1 CUSTOM TRANSLATORS
388
d5448623 389The mechanism of translation of C<\N{...}> escapes is general and not
423cee85 390hardwired into F<charnames.pm>. A module can install custom
d5448623 391translations (inside the scope which C<use>s the module) with the
423cee85
JH
392following magic incantation:
393
d5448623
GS
394 sub import {
395 shift;
d5448623
GS
396 $^H{charnames} = \&translator;
397 }
423cee85
JH
398
399Here translator() is a subroutine which takes C<CHARNAME> as an
400argument, and returns text to insert into the string instead of the
4a2d328f 401C<\N{CHARNAME}> escape. Since the text to insert should be different
d5448623
GS
402in C<bytes> mode and out of it, the function should check the current
403state of C<bytes>-flag as in:
404
405 use bytes (); # for $bytes::hint_bits
406 sub translator {
407 if ($^H & $bytes::hint_bits) {
408 return bytes_translator(@_);
409 }
410 else {
411 return utf8_translator(@_);
412 }
423cee85 413 }

415=head1 CUSTOM ALIASES
416
417This version of charnames supports three mechanisms of adding local
418or customized aliases to standard Unicode naming conventions (:full)
419
420=head2 Anonymous hashes
421
422 use charnames ":full", ":alias" => {
423 e_ACUTE => "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE",
424 };
425 my $str = "\N{e_ACUTE}";
426
427=head2 Alias file
428
429 use charnames ":full", ":alias" => "pro";
430
431 will try to read "unicore/pro_alias.pl" from the @INC path. This
432 file should return a list in plain perl:
433
434 (
435 A_GRAVE => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE",
436 A_CIRCUM => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX",
437 A_DIAERES => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS",
438 A_TILDE => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH TILDE",
439 A_BREVE => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE",
440 A_RING => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE",
441 A_MACRON => "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH MACRON",
442 );
443
444=head2 Alias shortcut
445
446 use charnames ":alias" => ":pro";
447
448 works exactly the same as the alias pairs, only this time,
449 ":full" is inserted automatically as first argument (if no
450 other argument is given).
451
b177ca84
JF
452=head1 charnames::viacode(code)
453
454Returns the full name of the character indicated by the numeric code.
455The example
456
457 print charnames::viacode(0x2722);
458
459prints "FOUR TEARDROP-SPOKED ASTERISK".

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.)

542=head1 BUGS
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.
