/* * superset.c: deal with character sets which are supersets of * others. */ #include "charset.h" /* * Just in case it's ever useful again, this rather simplistic * piece of Perl/sh analyses sbcs.dat and determines which pairs of * character sets are identical in the A0-FF region.

Look at CP1255 and * ISO8859_8: they match at every code point defined in both, but * they each define at least one code point the other doesn't. It * isn't clear how I should handle this. The right thing might be * to define yet another SBCS which is the union of both, and * upgrade both to that. Or it might be that the unicode.org * mapping table for CP1255 is simply out of date, and the mapping * ISO8859_8 has which it doesn't (DF -> U+2017 DOUBLE LOW LINE) * should be present in it too, which would make it a proper * superset of ISO8859_8 and solve the problem. * * However, for the moment I'm satisfied with enhancing this table * as and when necessary; the idea is not to include _all_ superset * relations here, the idea is to spot charset IDs which are used * _in practice_ to mean other charset IDs.
