latin9

I need to convert some strings formated with Latin9 charset to UTF-8. I cannot use iconv as it is not included in my embedded system. Do you know if there is some available code for it? Code points 1 to 127 are the same in both Latin-9 (ISO-8859-15) and UTF-8. Code point 164 in Latin-9 is U+20AC, \xe2\x82\xac = 226 130 172 in UTF-8. Code point 166 in Latin-9 is U+0160, \xc5\xa0 = 197 160 in UTF-8. Code point 168 in Latin-9 is U+0161, \xc5\xa1 = 197 161 in UTF-8. Code point 180 in Latin-9 is U+017D, \xc5\xbd = 197 189 in UTF-8. Code point 184 in Latin-9 is U+017E, \xc5\xbe = 197 190 in UTF-8.

I have an application that is being expanded to the UK and I will need to add support for Latin-9 Unicode. I have done some Googling but found nothing solid as to what is involved in the process. Any tips? Here is some code (Just the bits for Unicode stuff) use Unicode::String qw(utf8 latin1 utf16); # How to call $encoded_txt = $self->unicode_encode($item->{value}); # Function part sub unicode_encode { shift() if ref($_[0]); my $toencode = shift(); return undef unless defined($toencode); Unicode::String->stringify_as("utf8"); my $unicode_str = Unicode::String->new(); # encode Perl UTF-8 string
