These are experimental modules to handle various Unicode issues. They were made before perl included native UTF8 support. The current set of modules are: Unicode::String - represent strings of Unicode chars Unicode::CharName - look up character names Unicode::Map8 - mapping tables towards 8-bit char sets (the Unicode::Map8 module is distributed separately) COPYRIGHT 1997-2000 Gisle Aas.
