9 @dfn{MULE} is the name originally given to the version of GNU Emacs
|
|
428
|
10 extended for multi-lingual (and in particular Asian-language) support.
|
|
442
|
11 ``MULE'' is short for ``MUlti-Lingual Emacs''. It is an extension and
|
|
|
12 complete rewrite of Nemacs (``Nihon Emacs'' where ``Nihon'' is the
|
|
|
13 Japanese word for ``Japan''), which only provided support for Japanese.
|
|
|
14 XEmacs refers to its multi-lingual support as @dfn{MULE support} since
|
|
|
15 it is based on @dfn{MULE}.

|
32 In internationalization terminology, a string of text is divided up
|
|
428
|
33 into @dfn{characters}, which are the printable units that make up the
|
|
|
34 text. A single character is (for example) a capital @samp{A}, the
|
|
442
|
35 number @samp{2}, a Katakana character, a Hangul character, a Kanji
|
|
|
36 ideograph (an @dfn{ideograph} is a ``picture'' character, such as is
|
|
|
37 used in Japanese Kanji, Chinese Hanzi, and Korean Hanja; typically there
|
|
|
38 are thousands of such ideographs in each language), etc. The basic
|
|
|
39 property of a character is that it is the smallest unit of text with
|
|
|
40 semantic significance in text processing.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 Human beings normally process text visually, so to a first approximation
|
|
|
43 a character may be identified with its shape. Note that the same
|
|
|
44 character may be drawn by two different people (or in two different
|
|
|
45 fonts) in slightly different ways, although the "basic shape" will be the
|
|
|
46 same. But consider the works of Scott Kim; human beings can recognize
|
|
|
47 hugely variant shapes as the "same" character. Sometimes, especially
|
|
|
48 where characters are extremely complicated to write, completely
|
|
|
49 different shapes may be defined as the "same" character in national
|
|
|
50 standards. The Taiwanese variant of Hanzi is generally the most
|
|
444
|
51 complicated; over the centuries, the Japanese, Koreans, and the People's
|
|
442
|
52 Republic of China have adopted simplifications of the shape, but the
|
|
|
53 line of descent from the original shape is recorded, and the meanings
|
|
|
54 and pronunciation of different forms of the same character are
|
|
|
55 considered to be identical within each language. (Of course, it may
|
|
|
56 take a specialist to recognize the related form; the point is that the
|
|
|
57 relations are standardized, despite the differing shapes.)
|
|
428
|
58
|
|
|
59 In some cases, the differences will be significant enough that it is
|
|
|
60 actually possible to identify two or more distinct shapes that both
|
|
|
61 represent the same character. For example, the lowercase letters
|
|
440
|
62 @samp{a} and @samp{g} each have two distinct possible shapes---the
|
|
428
|
63 @samp{a} can optionally have a curved tail projecting off the top, and
|
|
|
64 the @samp{g} can be formed either of two loops, or of one loop and a
|
|
|
65 tail hanging off the bottom. Such distinct possible shapes of a
|
|
|
66 character are called @dfn{glyphs}. The important characteristic of two
|
|
|
67 glyphs making up the same character is that the choice between one or
|
|
|
68 the other is purely stylistic and has no linguistic effect on a word
|
|
|
69 (this is the reason why a capital @samp{A} and lowercase @samp{a}
|
|
440
|
70 are different characters rather than different glyphs---e.g.
|
|
428
|
71 @samp{Aspen} is a city while @samp{aspen} is a kind of tree).
|
|
|
72
|
|
|
73 Note that @dfn{character} and @dfn{glyph} are used differently
|
|
|
74 here than elsewhere in XEmacs.
|
|
|
75
|
|
442
|
76 A @dfn{character set} is essentially a set of related characters. ASCII,
|
|
428
|
77 for example, is a set of 94 characters (or 128, if you count
|
|
|
78 non-printing characters). Other character sets are ISO8859-1 (ASCII
|
|
|
79 plus various accented characters and other international symbols),
|
|
442
|
80 JIS X 0201 (ASCII, more or less, plus half-width Katakana), JIS X 0208
|
|
|
81 (Japanese Kanji), JIS X 0212 (a second set of less-used Japanese Kanji),
|
|
428
|
82 GB2312 (Mainland Chinese Hanzi), etc.
|
|
|
83
|
|
442
|
84 The definition of a character set will implicitly or explicitly give
|
|
|
85 it an @dfn{ordering}, a way of assigning a number to each character in
|
|
|
86 the set. For many character sets, there is a natural ordering, for
|
|
|
87 example the ``ABC'' ordering of the Roman letters. But it is not clear
|
|
|
88 whether digits should come before or after the letters, and in fact
|
|
|
89 different European languages treat the ordering of accented characters
|
|
|
90 differently. It is useful to use the natural order where available, of
|
|
|
91 course. The number assigned to any particular character is called the
|
|
|
92 character's @dfn{code point}. (Within a given character set, each
|
|
|
93 character has a unique code point. Thus the word "set" is ill-chosen;
|
|
|
94 different orderings of the same characters are different character sets.
|
|
|
95 Identifying characters is simple enough for alphabetic character sets,
|
|
|
96 but the difference in ordering can cause great headaches when the same
|
|
|
97 thousands of characters are used by different cultures as in the Hanzi.)
|
|
428
|
98
|
|
442
|
99 A code point may be broken into a number of @dfn{position codes}. The
|
|
|
100 number of position codes required to index a particular character in a
|
|
|
101 character set is called the @dfn{dimension} of the character set. For
|
|
|
102 practical purposes, a position code may be thought of as a byte-sized
|
|
|
103 index. The printing characters of ASCII, being a relatively small
|
|
|
104 character set, is of dimension one, and each character in the set is
|
|
|
105 indexed using a single position code, in the range 1 through 94. Use of
|
|
|
106 this unusual range, rather than the familiar 33 through 126, is an
|
|
|
107 intentional abstraction; to understand the programming issues you must
|
|
|
108 break the equation between character sets and encodings.
|
|
|
109
|
|
|
110 JIS X 0208, i.e. Japanese Kanji, has thousands of characters, and is
|
|
|
111 of dimension two -- every character is indexed by two position codes,
|
|
|
112 each in the range 1 through 94. (This number ``94'' is not a
|
|
|
113 coincidence; we shall see that the JIS position codes were chosen so
|
|
|
114 that JIS kanji could be encoded without using codes that in ASCII are
|
|
|
115 associated with device control functions.) Note that the choice of the
|
|
|
116 range here is somewhat arbitrary. You could just as easily index the
|
|
|
117 printing characters in ASCII using numbers in the range 0 through 93, 2
|
|
|
118 through 95, 3 through 96, etc. In fact, the standardized
|
|
|
119 @emph{encoding} for the ASCII @emph{character set} uses the range 33
|
|
|
120 through 126.
|
|
428
|
121
|
|
|
122 An @dfn{encoding} is a way of numerically representing characters from
|
|
|
123 one or more character sets into a stream of like-sized numerical values
|
|
|
124 called @dfn{words}; typically these are 8-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit
|
|
|
125 quantities. If an encoding encompasses only one character set, then the
|
|
|
126 position codes for the characters in that character set could be used
|
|
442
|
127 directly. (This is the case with the trivial cipher used by children,
|
|
|
128 assigning 1 to `A', 2 to `B', and so on.) However, even with ASCII,
|
|
|
129 other considerations intrude. For example, why are the upper- and
|
|
|
130 lowercase alphabets separated by 8 characters? Why do the digits start
|
|
|
131 with `0' being assigned the code 48? In both cases because semantically
|
|
|
132 interesting operations (case conversion and numerical value extraction)
|
|
|
133 become convenient masking operations. Other artificial aspects (the
|
|
|
134 control characters being assigned to codes 0--31 and 127) are historical
|
|
|
135 accidents. (The use of 127 for @samp{DEL} is an artifact of the "punch
|
|
|
136 once" nature of paper tape, for example.)
|
|
|
137
|
|
|
138 Naive use of the position code is not possible, however, if more than
|
|
|
139 one character set is to be used in the encoding. For example, printed
|
|
|
140 Japanese text typically requires characters from multiple character sets
|
|
|
141 -- ASCII, JIS X 0208, and JIS X 0212, to be specific. Each of these is
|
|
|
142 indexed using one or more position codes in the range 1 through 94, so
|
|
|
143 the position codes could not be used directly or there would be no way
|
|
|
144 to tell which character was meant. Different Japanese encodings handle
|
|
|
145 this differently -- JIS uses special escape characters to denote
|
|
|
146 different character sets; EUC sets the high bit of the position codes
|
|
|
147 for JIS X 0208 and JIS X 0212, and puts a special extra byte before each
|
|
|
148 JIS X 0212 character; etc. (JIS, EUC, and most of the other encodings
|
|
|
149 you will encounter in files are 7-bit or 8-bit encodings. There is one
|
|
|
150 common 16-bit encoding, which is Unicode; this strives to represent all
|
|
|
151 the world's characters in a single large character set. 32-bit
|
|
|
152 encodings are often used internally in programs, such as XEmacs with
|
|
|
153 MULE support, to simplify the code that manipulates them; however, they
|
|
|
154 are not used externally because they are not very space-efficient.)
|
|
|
155
|
|
|
156 A general method of handling text using multiple character sets
|
|
|
157 (whether for multilingual text, or simply text in an extremely
|
|
|
158 complicated single language like Japanese) is defined in the
|
|
|
159 international standard ISO 2022. ISO 2022 will be discussed in more
|
|
|
160 detail later (@pxref{ISO 2022}), but for now suffice it to say that text
|
|
|
161 needs control functions (at least spacing), and if escape sequences are
|
|
|
162 to be used, an escape sequence introducer. It was decided to make all
|
|
|
163 text streams compatible with ASCII in the sense that the codes 0--31
|
|
|
164 (and 128-159) would always be control codes, never graphic characters,
|
|
|
165 and where defined by the character set the @samp{SPC} character would be
|
|
|
166 assigned code 32, and @samp{DEL} would be assigned 127. Thus there are
|
|
|
167 94 code points remaining if 7 bits are used. This is the reason that
|
|
|
168 most character sets are defined using position codes in the range 1
|
|
|
169 through 94. Then ISO 2022 compatible encodings are produced by shifting
|
|
|
170 the position codes 1 to 94 into character codes 33 to 126, or (if 8 bit
|
|
|
171 codes are available) into character codes 161 to 254.
|
|
428
|
172
|
|
|
173 Encodings are classified as either @dfn{modal} or @dfn{non-modal}. In
|
|
442
|
174 a @dfn{modal encoding}, there are multiple states that the encoding can
|
|
|
175 be in, and the interpretation of the values in the stream depends on the
|
|
428
|
176 current global state of the encoding. Special values in the encoding,
|
|
|
177 called @dfn{escape sequences}, are used to change the global state.
|
|
|
178 JIS, for example, is a modal encoding. The bytes @samp{ESC $ B}
|
|
|
179 indicate that, from then on, bytes are to be interpreted as position
|
|
442
|
180 codes for JIS X 0208, rather than as ASCII. This effect is cancelled
|
|
428
|
181 using the bytes @samp{ESC ( B}, which mean ``switch from whatever the
|
|
442
|
182 current state is to ASCII''. To switch to JIS X 0212, the escape
|
|
|
183 sequence @samp{ESC $ ( D}. (Note that here, as is common, the escape
|
|
|
184 sequences do in fact begin with @samp{ESC}. This is not necessarily the
|
|
|
185 case, however. Some encodings use control characters called "locking
|
|
|
186 shifts" (effect persists until cancelled) to switch character sets.)
|
|
428
|
187
|
|
442
|
188 A @dfn{non-modal encoding} has no global state that extends past the
|
|
428
|
189 character currently being interpreted. EUC, for example, is a
|
|
442
|
190 non-modal encoding. Characters in JIS X 0208 are encoded by setting
|
|
|
191 the high bit of the position codes, and characters in JIS X 0212 are
|
|
428
|
192 encoded by doing the same but also prefixing the character with the
|
|
|
193 byte 0x8F.
|
|
|
194
|
|
|
195 The advantage of a modal encoding is that it is generally more
|
|
442
|
196 space-efficient, and is easily extendible because there are essentially
|
|
428
|
197 an arbitrary number of escape sequences that can be created. The
|
|
|
198 disadvantage, however, is that it is much more difficult to work with
|
|
|
199 if it is not being processed in a sequential manner. In the non-modal
|
|
|
200 EUC encoding, for example, the byte 0x41 always refers to the letter
|
|
|
201 @samp{A}; whereas in JIS, it could either be the letter @samp{A}, or
|
|
442
|
202 one of the two position codes in a JIS X 0208 character, or one of the
|
|
|
203 two position codes in a JIS X 0212 character. Determining exactly which
|
|
428
|
204 one is meant could be difficult and time-consuming if the previous
|
|
442
|
205 bytes in the string have not already been processed, or impossible if
|
|
|
206 they are drawn from an external stream that cannot be rewound.
|
|
428
|
207
|
|
|
208 Non-modal encodings are further divided into @dfn{fixed-width} and
|
|
|
209 @dfn{variable-width} formats. A fixed-width encoding always uses
|
|
|
210 the same number of words per character, whereas a variable-width
|
|
|
211 encoding does not. EUC is a good example of a variable-width
|
|
|
212 encoding: one to three bytes are used per character, depending on
|
|
|
213 the character set. 16-bit and 32-bit encodings are nearly always
|
|
|
214 fixed-width, and this is in fact one of the main reasons for using
|
|
|
215 an encoding with a larger word size. The advantages of fixed-width
|
|
|
216 encodings should be obvious. The advantages of variable-width
|
|
|
217 encodings are that they are generally more space-efficient and allow
|
|
442
|
218 for compatibility with existing 8-bit encodings such as ASCII. (For
|
|
|
219 example, in Unicode ASCII characters are simply promoted to a 16-bit
|
|
|
220 representation. That means that every ASCII character contains a
|
|
|
221 @samp{NUL} byte; evidently all of the standard string manipulation
|
|
|
222 functions will lose badly in a fixed-width Unicode environment.)
|
|
428
|
223
|
|
442
|
224 The bytes in an 8-bit encoding are often referred to as @dfn{octets}
|
|
|
225 rather than simply as bytes. This terminology dates back to the days
|
|
|
226 before 8-bit bytes were universal, when some computers had 9-bit bytes,
|
|
|
227 others had 10-bit bytes, etc.

251 Charsets have the following properties:
|
|
|
252
|
|
|
253 @table @code
|
|
|
254 @item name
|
|
|
255 A symbol naming the charset. Every charset must have a different name;
|
|
|
256 this allows a charset to be referred to using its name rather than
|
|
|
257 the actual charset object.
|
|
|
258 @item doc-string
|
|
|
259 A documentation string describing the charset.
|
|
|
260 @item registry
|
|
|
261 A regular expression matching the font registry field for this character
|
|
|
262 set. For example, both the @code{ascii} and @code{latin-iso8859-1}
|
|
|
263 charsets use the registry @code{"ISO8859-1"}. This field is used to
|
|
|
264 choose an appropriate font when the user gives a general font
|
|
|
265 specification such as @samp{-*-courier-medium-r-*-140-*}, i.e. a
|
|
|
266 14-point upright medium-weight Courier font.
|
|
|
267 @item dimension
|
|
|
268 Number of position codes used to index a character in the character set.
|
|
|
269 XEmacs/MULE can only handle character sets of dimension 1 or 2.
|
|
|
270 This property defaults to 1.
|
|
|
271 @item chars
|
|
|
272 Number of characters in each dimension. In XEmacs/MULE, the only
|
|
|
273 allowed values are 94 or 96. (There are a couple of pre-defined
|
|
|
274 character sets, such as ASCII, that do not follow this, but you cannot
|
|
|
275 define new ones like this.) Defaults to 94. Note that if the dimension
|
|
|
276 is 2, the character set thus described is 94x94 or 96x96.
|
|
|
277 @item columns
|
|
|
278 Number of columns used to display a character in this charset.
|
|
|
279 Only used in TTY mode. (Under X, the actual width of a character
|
|
|
280 can be derived from the font used to display the characters.)
|
|
|
281 If unspecified, defaults to the dimension. (This is almost
|
|
|
282 always the correct value, because character sets with dimension 2
|
|
|
283 are usually ideograph character sets, which need two columns to
|
|
|
284 display the intricate ideographs.)

286 A symbol, either @code{l2r} (left-to-right) or @code{r2l}
|
|
|
287 (right-to-left). Defaults to @code{l2r}. This specifies the
|
|
|
288 direction that the text should be displayed in, and will be
|
|
|
289 left-to-right for most charsets but right-to-left for Hebrew
|
|
|
290 and Arabic. (Right-to-left display is not currently implemented.)
|
|
|
291 @item final
|
|
|
292 Final byte of the standard ISO 2022 escape sequence designating this
|
|
|
293 charset. Must be supplied. Each combination of (@var{dimension},
|
|
|
294 @var{chars}) defines a separate namespace for final bytes, and each
|
|
|
295 charset within a particular namespace must have a different final byte.
|
|
|
296 Note that ISO 2022 restricts the final byte to the range 0x30 - 0x7E if
|
|
|
297 dimension == 1, and 0x30 - 0x5F if dimension == 2. Note also that final
|
|
|
298 bytes in the range 0x30 - 0x3F are reserved for user-defined (not
|
|
|
299 official) character sets. For more information on ISO 2022, see @ref{Coding
|
|
|
300 Systems}.
|
|
|
301 @item graphic
|
|
|
302 0 (use left half of font on output) or 1 (use right half of font on
|
|
|
303 output). Defaults to 0. This specifies how to convert the position
|
|
|
304 codes that index a character in a character set into an index into the
|
|
|
305 font used to display the character set. With @code{graphic} set to 0,
|
|
|
306 position codes 33 through 126 map to font indices 33 through 126; with
|
|
|
307 it set to 1, position codes 33 through 126 map to font indices 161
|
|
|
308 through 254 (i.e. the same number but with the high bit set). For
|
|
|
309 example, for a font whose registry is ISO8859-1, the left half of the
|
|
|
310 font (octets 0x20 - 0x7F) is the @code{ascii} charset, while the right
|
|
|
311 half (octets 0xA0 - 0xFF) is the @code{latin-iso8859-1} charset.
|
|
|
312 @item ccl-program
|
|
|
313 A compiled CCL program used to convert a character in this charset into
|
|
|
314 an index into the font. This is in addition to the @code{graphic}
|
|
|
315 property. If a CCL program is defined, the position codes of a
|
|
|
316 character will first be processed according to @code{graphic} and
|
|
|
317 then passed through the CCL program, with the resulting values used
|
|
|
318 to index the font.
|
|
|
319
|
|
442
|
320 This is used, for example, in the Big5 character set (used in Taiwan).
|
|
428
|
321 This character set is not ISO-2022-compliant, and its size (94x157) does
|
|
|
322 not fit within the maximum 96x96 size of ISO-2022-compliant character
|
|
|
323 sets. As a result, XEmacs/MULE splits it (in a rather complex fashion,
|
|
|
324 so as to group the most commonly used characters together) into two
|
|
|
325 charset objects (@code{big5-1} and @code{big5-2}), each of size 94x94,
|
|
|
326 and each charset object uses a CCL program to convert the modified
|
|
|
327 position codes back into standard Big5 indices to retrieve a character
|
|
|
328 from a Big5 font.
|
|
|
329 @end table
|

330

576
|
|
|
577 A coding system is an object that defines how text containing multiple
|
|
|
578 character sets is encoded into a stream of (typically 8-bit) bytes. The
|
|
|
579 coding system is used to decode the stream into a series of characters
|
|
|
580 (which may be from multiple charsets) when the text is read from a file
|
|
|
581 or process, and is used to encode the text back into the same format
|
|
|
582 when it is written out to a file or process.
|
|
|
583
|
|
|
584 For example, many ISO-2022-compliant coding systems (such as Compound
|

616 @subsection Coding System Types
|
|
|
617
|
|
|
618 The coding system type determines the basic algorithm XEmacs will use to
|
|
|
619 decode or encode a data stream. Character encodings will be converted
|
|
|
620 to the MULE encoding, escape sequences processed, and newline sequences
|
|
|
621 converted to XEmacs's internal representation. There are three basic
|
|
|
622 classes of coding system type: no-conversion, ISO-2022, and special.
|
|
|
623
|
|
|
624 No conversion allows you to look at the file's internal representation.
|
|
|
625 Since XEmacs is basically a text editor, "no conversion" does convert
|
|
|
626 newline conventions by default. (Use the 'binary coding-system if this
|
|
|
627 is not desired.)
|
|
428
|
628
|
|
442
|
629 ISO 2022 (@pxref{ISO 2022}) is the basic international standard regulating
|
|
|
630 use of "coded character sets for the exchange of data", ie, text
|
|
|
631 streams. ISO 2022 contains functions that make it possible to encode
|
|
|
632 text streams to comply with restrictions of the Internet mail system and
|
|
|
633 de facto restrictions of most file systems (eg, use of the separator
|
|
|
634 character in file names). Coding systems which are not ISO 2022
|
|
|
635 conformant can be difficult to handle. Perhaps more important, they are
|
|
|
636 not adaptable to multilingual information interchange, with the obvious
|
|
|
637 exception of ISO 10646 (Unicode). (Unicode is partially supported by
|
|
|
638 XEmacs with the addition of the Lisp package ucs-conv.)
|
|
|
639
|
|
|
640 The special class of coding systems includes automatic detection, CCL (a
|
|
|
641 "little language" embedded as an interpreter, useful for translating
|
|
|
642 between variants of a single character set), non-ISO-2022-conformant
|
|
|
643 encodings like Unicode, Shift JIS, and Big5, and MULE internal coding.
|
|
|
644 (NB: this list is based on XEmacs 21.2. Terminology may vary slightly
|
|
|
645 for other versions of XEmacs and for GNU Emacs 20.)

650 coding systems where conversion is done by hook functions (usually
|
|
|
651 implemented in CCL). On output, graphic characters that are not in
|
|
|
652 ASCII or Latin-1 will be replaced by a @samp{?}. (For a

690 @section ISO 2022
|
|
|
691
|
|
|
692 This section briefly describes the ISO 2022 encoding standard. A more
|
|
|
693 thorough treatment is available in the original document of ISO
|
|
|
694 2022 as well as various national standards (such as JIS X 0202).
|
|
428
|
695
|
|
442
|
696 Character sets (@dfn{charsets}) are classified into the following four
|
|
|
697 categories, according to the number of characters in the charset:
|
|
|
698 94-charset, 96-charset, 94x94-charset, and 96x96-charset. This means
|
|
|
699 that although an ISO 2022 coding system may have variable width
|
|
|
700 characters, each charset used is fixed-width (in contrast to the MULE
|
|
|
701 character set and UTF-8, for example).
|
|
|
702
|
|
|
703 ISO 2022 provides for switching between character sets via escape
|
|
|
704 sequences. This switching is somewhat complicated, because ISO 2022
|
|
|
705 provides for both legacy applications like Internet mail that accept
|
|
444
|
706 only 7 significant bits in some contexts (RFC 822 headers, for example),
|
|
442
|
707 and more modern "8-bit clean" applications. It also provides for
|
|
|
708 compact and transparent representation of languages like Japanese which
|
|
|
709 mix ASCII and a national script (even outside of computer programs).
|
|
428
|
710
|
|
442
|
711 First, ISO 2022 codified prevailing practice by dividing the code space
|
|
|
712 into "control" and "graphic" regions. The code points 0x00-0x1F and
|
|
|
713 0x80-0x9F are reserved for "control characters", while "graphic
|
|
|
714 characters" must be assigned to code points in the regions 0x20-0x7F and
|
|
|
715 0xA0-0xFF. The positions 0x20 and 0x7F are special, and under some
|
|
|
716 circumstances must be assigned the graphic character "ASCII SPACE" and
|
|
|
717 the control character "ASCII DEL" respectively.
|
|
428
|
718
|
|
442
|
719 The various regions are given the name C0 (0x00-0x1F), GL (0x20-0x7F),
|
|
|
720 C1 (0x80-0x9F), and GR (0xA0-0xFF). GL and GR stand for "graphic left"
|
|
|
721 and "graphic right", respectively, because of the standard method of
|
|
|
722 displaying graphic character sets in tables with the high byte indexing
|
|
444
|
723 columns and the low byte indexing rows. I don't find it very intuitive,
|
|
442
|
724 but these are called "registers".
|
|
|
725
|
|
|
726 An ISO 2022-conformant encoding for a graphic character set must use a
|
|
|
727 fixed number of bytes per character, and the values must fit into a
|
|
|
728 single register; that is, each byte must range over either 0x20-0x7F, or
|
|
|
729 0xA0-0xFF. It is not allowed to extend the range of the repertoire of a
|
|
|
730 character set by using both ranges at the same. This is why a standard
|
|
|
731 character set such as ISO 8859-1 is actually considered by ISO 2022 to
|
|
|
732 be an aggregation of two character sets, ASCII and LATIN-1, and why it
|
|
|
733 is technically incorrect to refer to ISO 8859-1 as "Latin 1". Also, a
|
|
|
734 single character's bytes must all be drawn from the same register; this
|
|
|
735 is why Shift JIS (for Japanese) and Big 5 (for Chinese) are not ISO
|
|
|
736 2022-compatible encodings.
|
|
428
|
737
|
|
442
|
738 The reason for this restriction becomes clear when you attempt to define
|
|
|
739 an efficient, robust encoding for a language like Japanese. Like ISO
|
|
|
740 8859, Japanese encodings are aggregations of several character sets. In
|
|
|
741 practice, the vast majority of characters are drawn from the "JIS Roman"
|
|
|
742 character set (a derivative of ASCII; it won't hurt to think of it as
|
|
|
743 ASCII) and the JIS X 0208 standard "basic Japanese" character set
|
|
|
744 including not only ideographic characters ("kanji") but syllabic
|
|
|
745 Japanese characters ("kana"), a wide variety of symbols, and many
|
|
|
746 alphabetic characters (Roman, Greek, and Cyrillic) as well. Although
|
|
|
747 JIS X 0208 includes the whole Roman alphabet, as a 2-byte code it is not
|
|
|
748 suited to programming; thus the inclusion of ASCII in the standard
|
|
|
749 Japanese encodings.
|
|
428
|
750
|
|
442
|
751 For normal Japanese text such as in newspapers, a broad repertoire of
|
|
|
752 approximately 3000 characters is used. Evidently this won't fit into
|
|
|
753 one byte; two must be used. But much of the text processed by Japanese
|
|
|
754 computers is computer source code, nearly all of which is ASCII. A not
|
|
|
755 insignificant portion of ordinary text is English (as such or as
|
|
|
756 borrowed Japanese vocabulary) or other languages which can represented
|
|
|
757 at least approximately in ASCII, as well. It seems reasonable then to
|
|
|
758 represent ASCII in one byte, and JIS X 0208 in two. And this is exactly
|
|
|
759 what the Extended Unix Code for Japanese (EUC-JP) does. ASCII is
|
|
|
760 invoked to the GL register, and JIS X 0208 is invoked to the GR
|
|
|
761 register. Thus, each byte can be tested for its character set by
|
|
|
762 looking at the high bit; if set, it is Japanese, if clear, it is ASCII.
|
|
|
763 Furthermore, since control characters like newline can never be part of
|
|
|
764 a graphic character, even in the case of corruption in transmission the
|
|
|
765 stream will be resynchronized at every line break, on the order of 60-80
|
|
|
766 bytes. This coding system requires no escape sequences or special
|
|
|
767 control codes to represent 99.9% of all Japanese text.
|
|
428
|
768
|
|
442
|
769 Note carefully the distinction between the character sets (ASCII and JIS
|
|
|
770 X 0208), the encoding (EUC-JP), and the coding system (ISO 2022). The
|
|
|
771 JIS X 0208 character set is used in three different encodings for
|
|
|
772 Japanese, but in ISO-2022-JP it is invoked into GL (so the high bit is
|
|
|
773 always clear), in EUC-JP it is invoked into GR (setting the high bit in
|
|
|
774 the process), and in Shift JIS the high bit may be set or reset, and the
|
|
|
775 significant bits are shifted within the 16-bit character so that the two
|
|
|
776 main character sets can coexist with a third (the "halfwidth katakana"
|
|
|
777 of JIS X 0201). As the name implies, the ISO-2022-JP encoding is also a
|
|
|
778 version of the ISO-2022 coding system.
|
|
428
|
779
|
|
442
|
780 In order to systematically treat subsidiary character sets (like the
|
|
|
781 "halfwidth katakana" already mentioned, and the "supplementary kanji" of
|
|
|
782 JIS X 0212), four further registers are defined: G0, G1, G2, and G3.
|
|
|
783 Unlike GL and GR, they are not logically distinguished by internal
|
|
|
784 format. Instead, the process of "invocation" mentioned earlier is
|
|
|
785 broken into two steps: first, a character set is @dfn{designated} to one
|
|
|
786 of the registers G0-G3 by use of an @dfn{escape sequence} of the form:
|
|
428
|
787
|
|
|
788 @example
|
|
440
|
789 ESC [@var{I}] @var{I} @var{F}
|
|
428
|
790 @end example
|
|
|
791
|
|
442
|
792 where @var{I} is an intermediate character or characters in the range
|
|
|
793 0x20 - 0x3F, and @var{F}, from the range 0x30-0x7Fm is the final
|
|
|
794 character identifying this charset. (Final characters in the range
|
|
|
795 0x30-0x3F are reserved for private use and will never have a publicly
|
|
|
796 registered meaning.)
|
|
|
797
|
|
|
798 Then that register is @dfn{invoked} to either GL or GR, either
|
|
|
799 automatically (designations to G0 normally involve invocation to GL as
|
|
|
800 well), or by use of shifting (affecting only the following character in
|
|
|
801 the data stream) or locking (effective until the next designation or
|
|
|
802 locking) control sequences. An encoding conformant to ISO 2022 is
|
|
|
803 typically defined by designating the initial contents of the G0-G3
|
|
901
|
804 registers, specifying a 7 or 8 bit environment, and specifying whether
|
|
442
|
805 further designations will be recognized.

842 The comma may be used in files read and written only by MULE, as a MULE

|
843 extension, but this is illegal in ISO 2022. (The reason is that in ISO

|
|
844 2022 G0 must be a 94-member character set, with 0x20 assigned the value
|
|
|
845 SPACE, and 0x7F assigned the value DEL.)

|
|
|
862 To use a charset designated to G2 or G3, and to use a charset designated
|
|
428
|
863 to G1 in a 7-bit environment, you must explicitly invoke G1, G2, or G3
|
|
|
864 into GL. There are two types of invocation, Locking Shift (forever) and
|
|
|
865 Single Shift (one character only).
|
|
|
866
|
|
442
|
867 Locking Shift is done as follows:

|
428
|
868
|
|
|
869 @example
|
|
440
|
870 LS0 or SI (0x0F): invoke G0 into GL

893 SS2 invokes G2 into GR and SS3 invokes G3 into GR, whereas ESC N and

894 ESC O behave as indicated. The above definitions will not parse

895 EUC-encoded text correctly, and it looks like the code in mule-coding.c

896 has similar problems.)
|

897
|
|
442
|
898 Evidently there are a lot of ISO-2022-compliant ways of encoding
|
|
|
899 multilingual text. Now, in the world, there exist many coding systems
|
|
|
900 such as X11's Compound Text, Japanese JUNET code, and so-called EUC
|
|
|
901 (Extended UNIX Code); all of these are variants of ISO 2022.
|
|
428
|
902
|
|
442
|
903 In MULE, we characterize a version of ISO 2022 by the following
|
|
|
904 attributes:
|

|
905
|
|

906 @enumerate

|

914 Whether ASCII should be designated to G0 at the end of line.
|
|

916 7-bit environment or 8-bit environment.
|

918 Whether Locking Shifts are used or not.
|
|
428
|
919 @item
|

|
920 Whether to use ASCII or the variant JIS X 0201-1976-Roman.
|
|
428
|
921 @item
|
|
442

922 Whether to use JIS X 0208-1983 or the older version JIS X 0208-1976.

927 By specifying these attributes, you can create any variant

1296 @subsection Coding Systems Implemented
|
|
|
1297
|
|
|
1298 MULE initializes most of the commonly used coding systems at XEmacs's
|
|
|
1299 startup. A few others are initialized only when the relevant language
|
|
|
1300 environment is selected and support libraries are loaded. (NB: The
|
|
444
|
1301 following list is based on XEmacs 21.2.19, the development branch at the
|
|
442
|
1302 time of writing. The list may be somewhat different for other
|
|
|
1303 versions. Recent versions of GNU Emacs 20 implement a few more rare
|
|
|
1304 coding systems; work is being done to port these to XEmacs.)
|
|
|
1305
|
|
444
|
1306 Unfortunately, there is not a consistent naming convention for character
|
|
|
1307 sets, and for practical purposes coding systems often take their name
|
|
442
|
1308 from their principal character sets (ASCII, KOI8-R, Shift JIS). Others
|
|
444
|
1309 take their names from the coding system (ISO-2022-JP, EUC-KR), and a few
|
|
|
1310 from their non-text usages (internal, binary). To provide for this, and
|
|
442
|
1311 for the fact that many coding systems have several common names, an
|
|
|
1312 aliasing system is provided. Finally, some effort has been made to use
|
|
|
1313 names that are registered as MIME charsets (this is why the name
|
|
|
1314 'shift_jis contains that un-Lisp-y underscore).
|
|
|
1315
|
|
|
1316 There is a systematic naming convention regarding end-of-line (EOL)
|
|
|
1317 conventions for different systems. A coding system whose name ends in
|
|
|
1318 "-unix" forces the assumptions that lines are broken by newlines (0x0A).
|
|
|
1319 A coding system whose name ends in "-mac" forces the assumptions that
|
|
|
1320 lines are broken by ASCII CRs (0x0D). A coding system whose name ends
|
|
|
1321 in "-dos" forces the assumptions that lines are broken by CRLF sequences
|
|
|
1322 (0x0D 0x0A). These subsidiary coding systems are automatically derived
|
|
|
1323 from a base coding system. Use of the base coding system implies
|
|
|
1324 autodetection of the text file convention. (The fact that the -unix,
|
|
|
1325 -mac, and -dos are derived from a base system results in them showing up
|
|
|
1326 as "aliases" in `list-coding-systems'.) These subsidiaries have a
|
|
|
1327 consistent modeline indicator as well. "-dos" coding systems have ":T"
|
|
|
1328 appended to their modeline indicator, while "-mac" coding systems have
|
|
|
1329 ":t" appended (eg, "ISO8:t" for iso-2022-8-mac).
|
|
|
1330
|
|
|
1331 In the following table, each coding system is given with its mode line
|
|
|
1332 indicator in parentheses. Non-textual coding systems are listed first,
|
|
|
1333 followed by textual coding systems and their aliases. (The coding system
|
|
|
1334 subsidiary modeline indicators ":T" and ":t" will be omitted from the
|
|
|
1335 table of coding systems.)
|
|
|
1336
|
|
|
1337 ### SJT 1999-08-23 Maybe should order these by language? Definitely
|
|
|
1338 need language usage for the ISO-8859 family.
|
|
|
1339
|
|
|
1340 Note that although true coding system aliases have been implemented for
|
|
444
|
1341 XEmacs 21.2, the coding system initialization has not yet been converted
|
|
442
|
1342 as of 21.2.19. So coding systems described as aliases have the same
|
|
|
1343 properties as the aliased coding system, but will not be equal as Lisp
|
|
|
1344 objects.

|
|
442
|
1667 CCL (Code Conversion Language) is a simple structured programming
|
|
428
|
1668 language designed for character coding conversions. A CCL program is
|
|
|
1669 compiled to CCL code (represented by a vector of integers) and executed
|
|
|
1670 by the CCL interpreter embedded in Emacs. The CCL interpreter
|
|
|
1671 implements a virtual machine with 8 registers called @code{r0}, ...,
|
|
|
1672 @code{r7}, a number of control structures, and some I/O operators. Take
|
|
|
1673 care when using registers @code{r0} (used in implicit @dfn{set}
|
|
|
1674 statements) and especially @code{r7} (used internally by several
|
|
444
|
1675 statements and operations, especially for multiple return values and I/O
|
|
428
|
1676 operations).
|
|
|
1677
|
|
442
|
1678 CCL is used for code conversion during process I/O and file I/O for
|
|
428
|
1679 non-ISO2022 coding systems. (It is the only way for a user to specify a
|
|
|
1680 code conversion function.) It is also used for calculating the code
|
|
|
1681 point of an X11 font from a character code. However, since CCL is
|
|
|
1682 designed as a powerful programming language, it can be used for more
|
|
|
1683 generic calculation where efficiency is demanded. A combination of
|
|
|
1684 three or more arithmetic operations can be calculated faster by CCL than
|
|
|
1685 by Emacs Lisp.
|
|
|
1686
|
|
442
|
1687 @strong{Warning:} The code in @file{src/mule-ccl.c} and
|
|
428
|
1688 @file{$packages/lisp/mule-base/mule-ccl.el} is the definitive
|
|
|
1689 description of CCL's semantics. The previous version of this section
|
|
|
1690 contained several typos and obsolete names left from earlier versions of
|
|
|
1691 MULE, and many may remain. (I am not an experienced CCL programmer; the
|
|
|
1692 few who know CCL well find writing English painful.)
|
|
|
1693
|
|
442
|
1694 A CCL program transforms an input data stream into an output data
|
|
428
|
1695 stream. The input stream, held in a buffer of constant bytes, is left
|
|
|
1696 unchanged. The buffer may be filled by an external input operation,
|
|
|
1697 taken from an Emacs buffer, or taken from a Lisp string. The output
|
|
|
1698 buffer is a dynamic array of bytes, which can be written by an external
|
|
|
1699 output operation, inserted into an Emacs buffer, or returned as a Lisp
|
|
|
1700 string.
|
|
|
1701
|
|
442
|
1702 A CCL program is a (Lisp) list containing two or three members. The
|
|
428
|
1703 first member is the @dfn{buffer magnification}, which indicates the
|
|
|
1704 required minimum size of the output buffer as a multiple of the input
|
|
|
1705 buffer. It is followed by the @dfn{main block} which executes while
|
|
|
1706 there is input remaining, and an optional @dfn{EOF block} which is
|
|
|
1707 executed when the input is exhausted. Both the main block and the EOF
|
|
|
1708 block are CCL blocks.
|
|
|
1709
|
|
442
|
1710 A @dfn{CCL block} is either a CCL statement or list of CCL statements.
|
|
444
|
1711 A @dfn{CCL statement} is either a @dfn{set statement} (either an integer
|
|
428
|
1712 or an @dfn{assignment}, which is a list of a register to receive the
|
|
444
|
1713 assignment, an assignment operator, and an expression) or a @dfn{control
|
|
428
|
1714 statement} (a list starting with a keyword, whose allowable syntax
|
|
|
1715 depends on the keyword).

|
1794 The @dfn{set} statement has three variants with the syntaxes
|
|
428
|
1795 @samp{(@var{reg} = @var{expression})},
|
|
|
1796 @samp{(@var{reg} @var{assignment_operator} @var{expression})}, and
|
|
|
1797 @samp{@var{integer}}. The assignment operator variation of the
|
|
|
1798 @dfn{set} statement works the same way as the corresponding C expression
|
|
|
1799 statement does. The assignment operators are @code{+=}, @code{-=},
|
|
|
1800 @code{*=}, @code{/=}, @code{%=}, @code{&=}, @code{|=}, @code{^=},
|
|
|
1801 @code{<<=}, and @code{>>=}, and they have the same meanings as in C. A
|
|
|
1802 "naked integer" @var{integer} is equivalent to a @var{set} statement of
|
|
|
1803 the form @code{(r0 = @var{integer})}.
|
|
|
1804
|
|
|
1805 @heading I/O statements:
|
|
|
1806
|
|
442
|
1807 The @dfn{read} statement takes one or more registers as arguments. It
|
|
444
|
1808 reads one byte (a C char) from the input into each register in turn.
|
|
428
|
1809
|
|
442
|
1810 The @dfn{write} takes several forms. In the form @samp{(write @var{reg}
|
|
428
|
1811 ...)} it takes one or more registers as arguments and writes each in
|
|
|
1812 turn to the output. The integer in a register (interpreted as an
|
|
|
1813 Emchar) is encoded to multibyte form (ie, Bufbytes) and written to the
|
|
|
1814 current output buffer. If it is less than 256, it is written as is.
|
|
|
1815 The forms @samp{(write @var{expression})} and @samp{(write
|
|
|
1816 @var{integer})} are treated analogously. The form @samp{(write
|
|
|
1817 @var{string})} writes the constant string to the output. A
|
|
|
1818 "naked string" @samp{@var{string}} is equivalent to the statement @samp{(write
|
|
|
1819 @var{string})}. The form @samp{(write @var{reg} @var{array})} writes
|
|
|
1820 the @var{reg}th element of the @var{array} to the output.
|
|
|
1821
|
|
|
1822 @heading Conditional statements:
|
|
|
1823
|
|
442
|
1824 The @dfn{if} statement takes an @var{expression}, a @var{CCL block}, and
|
|
428
|
1825 an optional @var{second CCL block} as arguments. If the
|
|
|
1826 @var{expression} evaluates to non-zero, the first @var{CCL block} is
|
|
|
1827 executed. Otherwise, if there is a @var{second CCL block}, it is
|
|
|
1828 executed.
|
|
|
1829
|
|
442
|
1830 The @dfn{read-if} variant of the @dfn{if} statement takes an
|
|
428
|
1831 @var{expression}, a @var{CCL block}, and an optional @var{second CCL
|
|
|
1832 block} as arguments. The @var{expression} must have the form
|
|
|
1833 @code{(@var{reg} @var{operator} @var{operand})} (where @var{operand} is
|
|
|
1834 a register or an integer). The @code{read-if} statement first reads
|
|
|
1835 from the input into the first register operand in the @var{expression},
|
|
|
1836 then conditionally executes a CCL block just as the @code{if} statement
|
|
|
1837 does.
|
|
|
1838
|
|
442
|
1839 The @dfn{branch} statement takes an @var{expression} and one or more CCL
|
|
428
|
1840 blocks as arguments. The CCL blocks are treated as a zero-indexed
|
|
|
1841 array, and the @code{branch} statement uses the @var{expression} as the
|
|
|
1842 index of the CCL block to execute. Null CCL blocks may be used as
|
|
|
1843 no-ops, continuing execution with the statement following the
|
|
|
1844 @code{branch} statement in the containing CCL block. Out-of-range
|
|
444
|
1845 values for the @var{expression} are also treated as no-ops.
|
|
428
|
1846
|
|
442
|
1847 The @dfn{read-branch} variant of the @dfn{branch} statement takes an
|
|
428
|
1848 @var{register}, a @var{CCL block}, and an optional @var{second CCL
|
|
|
1849 block} as arguments. The @code{read-branch} statement first reads from
|
|
|
1850 the input into the @var{register}, then conditionally executes a CCL
|
|
|
1851 block just as the @code{branch} statement does.
|
|
|
1852
|
|
|
1853 @heading Loop control statements:
|
|
|
1854
|
|
442
|
1855 The @dfn{loop} statement creates a block with an implied jump from the
|
|
444
|
1856 end of the block back to its head. The loop is exited on a @code{break}
|
|
428
|
1857 statement, and continued without executing the tail by a @code{repeat}
|
|
|
1858 statement.
|
|
|
1859
|
|
442
|
1860 The @dfn{break} statement, written @samp{(break)}, terminates the
|
|
428
|
1861 current loop and continues with the next statement in the current
|
|
444
|
1862 block.
|
|
428
|
1863
|
|
442
|
1864 The @dfn{repeat} statement has three variants, @code{repeat},
|
|
428
|
1865 @code{write-repeat}, and @code{write-read-repeat}. Each continues the
|
|
|
1866 current loop from its head, possibly after performing I/O.
|
|
|
1867 @code{repeat} takes no arguments and does no I/O before jumping.
|
|
444
|
1868 @code{write-repeat} takes a single argument (a register, an
|
|
428
|
1869 integer, or a string), writes it to the output, then jumps.
|
|
|
1870 @code{write-read-repeat} takes one or two arguments. The first must
|
|
|
1871 be a register. The second may be an integer or an array; if absent, it
|
|
|
1872 is implicitly set to the first (register) argument.
|
|
|
1873 @code{write-read-repeat} writes its second argument to the output, then
|
|
|
1874 reads from the input into the register, and finally jumps. See the
|
|
|
1875 @code{write} and @code{read} statements for the semantics of the I/O
|
|
|
1876 operations for each type of argument.
|
|
|
1877
|
|
|
1878 @heading Other control statements:
|
|
|
1879
|
|
442
|
1880 The @dfn{call} statement, written @samp{(call @var{ccl-program-name})},
|
|
428
|
1881 executes a CCL program as a subroutine. It does not return a value to
|
|
|
1882 the caller, but can modify the register status.
|
|
|
1883
|
|
442
|
1884 The @dfn{end} statement, written @samp{(end)}, terminates the CCL
|
|
428
|
1885 program successfully, and returns to caller (which may be a CCL
|
|
|
1886 program). It does not alter the status of the registers.

1891
|

442
|
1892 CCL, unlike Lisp, uses infix expressions. The simplest CCL expressions
|
|
428
|
1893 consist of a single @var{operand}, either a register (one of @code{r0},
|
|
|
1894 ..., @code{r0}) or an integer. Complex expressions are lists of the
|
|
|
1895 form @code{( @var{expression} @var{operator} @var{operand} )}. Unlike
|
|
|
1896 C, assignments are not expressions.
|
|
|
1897
|
|
442
|
1898 In the following table, @var{X} is the target resister for a @dfn{set}.
|
|
428
|
1899 In subexpressions, this is implicitly @code{r7}. This means that
|
|
|
1900 @code{>8}, @code{//}, @code{de-sjis}, and @code{en-sjis} cannot be used
|
|
|
1901 freely in subexpressions, since they return parts of their values in
|
|
|
1902 @code{r7}. @var{Y} may be an expression, register, or integer, while
|
|
|
1903 @var{Z} must be a register or an integer.

|
1933 CCL_DIVMOD, CCL_ENCODE_SJIS, and CCL_DECODE_SJIS. The CCL_ENCODE_SJIS
|
|
|
1934 and CCL_DECODE_SJIS treat their first and second bytes as the high and
|
|
|
1935 low bytes of a two-byte character code. (SJIS stands for Shift JIS, an
|
|
|
1936 encoding of Japanese characters used by Microsoft. CCL_ENCODE_SJIS is a
|
|
|
1937 complicated transformation of the Japanese standard JIS encoding to
|
|

1938 Shift JIS. CCL_DECODE_SJIS is its inverse.) It is somewhat odd to

|
|
|
1944
|
|
442
|
1945 CCL programs are called automatically during Emacs buffer I/O when the
|
|
428
|
1946 external representation has a coding system type of @code{shift-jis},
|
|
|
1947 @code{big5}, or @code{ccl}. The program is specified by the coding
|
|
|
1948 system (@pxref{Coding Systems}). You can also call CCL programs from
|
|
|
1949 other CCL programs, and from Lisp using these functions:
|
|
|
1950
|
|
|
1951 @defun ccl-execute ccl-program status
|
|
|
1952 Execute @var{ccl-program} with registers initialized by
|
|
|
1953 @var{status}. @var{ccl-program} is a vector of compiled CCL code
|
|
444
|
1954 created by @code{ccl-compile}. It is an error for the program to try to
|
|
428
|
1955 execute a CCL I/O command. @var{status} must be a vector of nine
|
|
|
1956 values, specifying the initial value for the R0, R1 .. R7 registers and
|
|
|
1957 for the instruction counter IC. A @code{nil} value for a register
|
|
|
1958 initializer causes the register to be set to 0. A @code{nil} value for
|
|
|
1959 the IC initializer causes execution to start at the beginning of the
|
|
|
1960 program. When the program is done, @var{status} is modified (by
|
|
|
1961 side-effect) to contain the ending values for the corresponding

1962 registers and IC.

1976 to exhaustion of the input buffer. Otherwise the IC is set to the end

1977 of the program. When the program is done, @var{status} is modified (by

|
|
|
2015
|
|
|
2016 A category table is a type of char table used for keeping track of
|
|
|
2017 categories. Categories are used for classifying characters for use in
|
|
440
|
2018 regexps---you can refer to a category rather than having to use a
|
|
428
|
2019 complicated [] expression (and category lookups are significantly
|
|
|
2020 faster).
|
|
|
2021
|
|
|
2022 There are 95 different categories available, one for each printable
|
|
|
2023 character (including space) in the ASCII charset. Each category is
|
|
|
2024 designated by one such character, called a @dfn{category designator}.
|
|
|
2025 They are specified in a regexp using the syntax @samp{\cX}, where X is a
|
|
|
2026 category designator. (This is not yet implemented.)
|
|
|
2027
|
|
|
2028 A category table specifies, for each character, the categories that
|
|
|
2029 the character is in. Note that a character can be in more than one
|
|
|
2030 category. More specifically, a category table maps from a character to
|
|
|
2031 either the value @code{nil} (meaning the character is in no categories)
|
|
|
2032 or a 95-element bit vector, specifying for each of the 95 categories
|
|
|
2033 whether the character is in that category.
|
|
|
2034
|
|
|
2035 Special Lisp functions are provided that abstract this, so you do not
|
|
|
2036 have to directly manipulate bit vectors.

|

2088 Set the language-specific precedence list used for Unicode decoding.
|
|
|
2089 This is a list of charsets, which are consulted in order for a translation
|
|
|
2090 matching a given Unicode character. If no matches are found, the charsets
|
|
|
2091 in the default precedence list (see
|
|
|
2092 @code{set-default-unicode-precedence-list}) are consulted, and then all
|
|
|
2093 remaining charsets, in some arbitrary order.
|
|
|
2094
|
|
|
2095 The language-specific precedence list is meant to be set as part of the
|
|
|
2096 language environment initialization; the default precedence list is meant
|
|
|
2097 to be set by the user.

2117 Add conversion information between Unicode codepoints and characters.
|
|

2118 @var{character} is one of the following:
|
|
|
2119
|
|
|
2120 @c #### fix this markup
|
|
|
2121 -- A character (in which case @var{code} must be a non-negative integer)
|
|
|
2122 -- A vector of characters (in which case @var{code} must be a vector of
|
|
|
2123 non-negative integers of the same length)
|
|
|
2124
|
|
|
2125 Values of @var{code} above 2^20 - 1 are allowed for the purpose of specifying
|
|
|
2126 private characters, but will cause errors when converted to UTF-16 or UTF-32.
|
|
|
2127 UCS-4 and UTF-8 can handle values to 2^31 - 1, but XEmacs Lisp integers top
|
|
|
2128 out at 2^30 - 1.

|
|
|
2133 When there is no international support (i.e. MULE is not defined),
|
|
|
2134 this function simply does @code{char-to-int}.
|

2135 @end defun
|

2136
|

2137 @defun unicode-to-character code [charsets]
|
|
|
2138 Convert Unicode codepoint @var{code} to character.
|
|
|
2139 @var{code} should be a non-negative integer.
|
|
|
2140 If @var{charsets} is given, it should be a list of charsets, and only those
|
|
|
2141 charsets will be consulted, in the given order, for a translation.
|
|
|
2142 Otherwise, the default ordering of all charsets will be given (see
|
|
|
2143 @code{set-unicode-charset-precedence}).
|
|
|
2144
|
|
|
2145 When there is no international support (i.e. MULE is not defined),
|
|
|
2146 this function simply does @code{int-to-char} and ignores the
|
|
|
2147 @var{charsets} argument.

2148 @end defun

2150 @defun parse-unicode-translation-table filename charset start end offset flags
|
|
|
2151 Parse Unicode translation data in @var{filename} for MULE @var{charset}.
|
|
|
2152 Data is text, in the form of one translation per line -- charset
|
|
|
2153 codepoint followed by Unicode codepoint. Numbers are decimal or hex
|
|
|
2154 \(preceded by 0x). Comments are marked with a #. Charset codepoints
|
|
|
2155 for two-dimensional charsets should have the first octet stored in the
|
|
|
2156 high 8 bits of the hex number and the second in the low 8 bits.
|
|
|
2157
|
|
|
2158 If @var{start} and @var{end} are given, only charset codepoints within
|
|
|
2159 the given range will be processed. If @var{offset} is given, that value
|
|
|
2160 will be added to all charset codepoints in the file to obtain the
|
|
|
2161 internal charset codepoint. @var{start} and @var{end} apply to the
|
|
|
2162 codepoints in the file, before @var{offset} is applied.
|
|
|
2163
|
|
|
2164 (Note that, as usual, we assume that octets are in the range 32 to
|
|
|
2165 127 or 33 to 126. If you have a table in kuten form, with octets in
|
|
|
2166 the range 1 to 94, you will have to use an offset of 5140,
|
|
|
2167 i.e. 0x2020.)
|
|
|
2168
|
|
|
2169 @var{flags}, if specified, control further how the tables are interpreted
|
|
|
2170 and are used to special-case certain known table weirdnesses in the
|
|
|
2171 Unicode tables:
|
|
|
2172
|
|
|
2173 @table @code
|
|
|
2174 @item ignore-first-column'
|
|
|
2175 Exactly as it sounds. The JIS X 0208 tables have 3 columns of data instead
|
|
|
2176 of 2; the first is the Shift-JIS codepoint.
|
|
|
2177
|
|
|
2178 @item big5
|
|
|
2179 The charset codepoint is a Big Five codepoint; convert it to the
|
|
|
2180 proper hacked-up codepoint in `chinese-big5-1' or `chinese-big5-2'.
