(For serious hackers only) The above means you have to furnish a complete
mapping; you can't just override a couple of characters and leave the rest
-unchanged. You can find all the mappings in the directory
+unchanged. You can find all the official mappings in the directory
C<$Config{privlib}>F</unicore/To/>. The mapping data is returned as the
here-document. The C<utf8::ToSpecI<Foo>> hashes in those files are special
exception mappings derived from
-C<$Config{privlib}>F</unicore/SpecialCasing.txt>. The "Digit" and
+C<$Config{privlib}>F</unicore/SpecialCasing.txt>. (The "Digit" and
"Fold" mappings that one can see in the directory are not directly
user-accessible, one can use either the L<Unicode::UCD> module, or just match
-case-insensitively (that's when the "Fold" mapping is used).
+case-insensitively, which is what uses the "Fold" mapping. Neither are user
+overridable.)
-The mappings will only take effect on scalars that have been marked as having
-Unicode characters, for example by using C<utf8::upgrade()>.
-Old byte-style strings are not affected.
+If you have many mappings to change, you can take the official mapping data,
+change by hand the affected code points, and place the whole thing into your
+subroutine. But this will only be valid on Perls that use the same Unicode
+version. Another option would be to have your subroutine read the official
+mapping file(s) and overwrite the affected code points.
-The mappings are in effect for the package they are defined in.
+If you have only a few mappings to change, starting in 5.14 you can use the
+following trick, here illustrated for Turkish.
+
+ use Config;
+
+ sub ToUpper {
+ my $official = do "$Config{privlib}/unicore/To/Upper.pl";
+ $utf8::ToSpecUpper{'i'} =
+ "\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE}";
+ return $official;
+ }
+
+This takes the official mappings and overrides just one, for "LATIN SMALL
+LETTER I". The keys to the hash must be in UTF-8 (or on EBCDIC platforms,
+UTF-EBCDIC), as illustrated by the inverse function.
+
+ sub ToLower {
+ my $official = do $lower;
+ $utf8::ToSpecLower{"\xc4\xb0"} = "i";
+ return $official;
+ }
+
+This example is for an ASCII platform, and C<\xc4\xb0> is the UTF-8 string that
+represents C<\N{LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE}>, C<U+0130>.
+
+(The trick illustrated here does work in earlier releases, but only if all the
+characters you want to override have ordinal values of 256 or higher.)
+
+The mappings are in effect only for the package they are defined in, and only
+on scalars that have been marked as having Unicode characters, for example by
+using C<utf8::upgrade()>. You can get around the latter restriction in the
+scope of a C<S<use subs>>:
+
+ use subs qw(uc ucfirst lc lcfirst);
+
+ sub uc($) {
+ my $string = shift;
+ utf8::upgrade($string);
+ return CORE::uc($string);
+ }
+
+ sub lc($) {
+ my $string = shift;
+ utf8::upgrade($string);
+
+ # Unless an I is before a dot_above, it turns into a dotless i.
+ $string =~
+ s/I (?! [^\p{ccc=0}\p{ccc=Above}]* \x{0307} )/\x{131}/gx;
+
+ # But when the I is followed by a dot_above, remove the
+ # dot_above so the end result will be i.
+ $string =~ s/I ([^\p{ccc=0}\p{ccc=Above}]* ) \x{0307}/i$1/gx;
+ return CORE::lc($string);
+ }
+
+These examples (also for Turkish) make sure the input is in UTF-8, and then
+call the corresponding official function, which will use the C<ToUpper()> and
+C<ToLower()> functions you have defined in the package. The C<lc()> example
+shows how you can add context-dependent casing. (For Turkish, there other
+required functions: C<ucfirst>, C<lcfirst>, and C<ToTitle>. These are very
+similar to the ones given above.)
