NAME Unicode::Unihan - The Unihan Data Base 5.1.0 SYNOPSIS use Unicode::Unihan; my $uh = Unicode::Unihan->new; print join("," => $uh->Mandarin("\x{5c0f}\x{98fc}\x{5f3e}")), "\n"; ABSTRACT This module provides a user-friendly interface to the Unicode Unihan Database 5.1. With this module, the Unihan database is as easy as shown in the SYNOPSIS above. DESCRIPTION The first thing you do is make the database available. Just say use Unicode::Unihan; my $uh = new Unicode::Unihan; That's all you have to say. After that, you can access the database via $uh->*tag*($string) where *tag* is the tag in the Unihan Database, without 'k' prefix. $data = $uh->*tag*($string) @data = $uh->*tag*($string) The first form (scalar context) returns the Unihan Database entry of the first character in $string. The second form (array context) checks the entry for each character in $string. @data = $uh->Mandarin("\x{5c0f}\x{98fc}\x{5f3e}"); # @data is now ('SHAO4 XIAO3','SI4','DAN4') @data = $uh->JapaneseKun("\x{5c0f}\x{98fc}\x{5f3e}"); # @data is now ('CHIISAI KO O','KAU YASHINAU','TAMA HAZUMU HIKU') FIELDS AND THEIR MEANINGS For a complete list of tags, their meaning, and information on parsing the value field, see .
