[COPY] --- SDE-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] Perl module to convert strings from and to 2-byte Unicode UCS2 format [T] This module converts strings from and to 2-byte Unicode UCS2 format. [T] All mappings happen via 2 byte UTF16 encodings, not via 1 byte UTF8 [T] encoding. To convert between UTF8 and UTF16 use Unicode::String. [T] [T] For historical reasons this module coexists with Unicode::Map8. [T] Please use Unicode::Map8 unless you need to care for >1 byte character [T] sets, e.g. chinese GB2312. Anyway, if you stick to the basic [T] functionality (see documentation) you can use both modules equivalently. [T] [T] Practically this module will disappear from earth sooner or later as [T] Unicode mapping support needs somehow to get into perl's core. If you [T] like to work on this field please don't hesitate contacting Gisle Aas [T] and check out the mailing list perl-unicode!
