Subject: [PATCH] unicode table for cp437
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:34:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <494042c3@wupperonline.de> (raw)
There is a major bug in the cp437 to unicode translation table. Char 0x7c is mapped to U+00a5 which is the Yen sign and wrong. The right mapping is U+00a6 (broken bar).
Furthermore, a mapping for U+00b4 (a widely used character) is missing even though easily possible.
The patch fixes these, as well as it provides a few other useful mappings.
The changes are as follows:
0x0f (enhancement) enables a sort of currency symbol
0x27 (bug) enables a sort of acute accent which is a widely used character
0x44 (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic capital letter eth
0x7c (major bug) corrects mapping
0xeb (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic small letter eth
0xee (enhancement) enables a sort of math 'element of'
