Perl: How to convert db2 utf8 czech special character to latex format
|
Can't Post
|
|
Hello,
please maybe someone can help me :
- I have a DB2 database which is in codeset UTF-8 and codepage 1208
- I have a field "lastname" which has some names which contain east
european special character (š and á // s with caron or a with acute)
- my environment on the shell is LANG=de_DE.utf8
- I read the DB field with DBI module into Perl and want to convert the
name to latex format for printing, but it doesn't work for the
"s with caron"
á (a with a acute) (Unicode-Nummer: U+00E1 HTML-Code: á)
---->wanted goal: Latex format \'{a}
š (s with caron) (Unicode-Nummer: U+0161 HTML-Code: š)
---->wanted goal: Latex format \v{s}
I don't manage to convert the "s" character:
$tmp has ' áš'
I try a print TeX::Encode::encode('latex',$tmp);
It gives : \'a?
\'a is correct
"?" for the "š" is not
When I directly save the field to a file and look with a hexeditor on
it it says: "e1 1a"
e1 is correct
"1a" isn't (according to latin-2 it should be "b9")
Hmmm... Can someone please help me to manage to bring these east european
names from a utf8 db to a universal latex format for printing ?
Many Many Thanks !!!!!!
Tina
