Unihan(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Unihan(3)

Unicode::Unihan - The Unihan Data Base 5.1.0

  use Unicode::Unihan;
  my $uh = Unicode::Unihan->new;
  print join("," => $uh->Mandarin("\x{5c0f}\x{98fc}\x{5f3e}")), "\n";

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.

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')
    

For a complete list of tags, their meaning, and information on parsing the value field, see <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr38/>.
