Unicode To CP932 Transcoder

UCP9 - Unicode To CP932 Transcoder

A small python package which helps transcode cp932-incompatible kanji characters to their cp932-compatible equivalents

This module provides a transcoding service:

• FROM: An arbitrary unicode character.
• TO: A cp932-compatible, semantically similar but differently encoded version of the same character.

Usage:

    import ucp9
    ucp9.convert(string, option)

[string]: a string that contains cp932-incompatible characters

[option]: Option to handle cp932-inconvertible characters.

• "keep": keep the cp932-inconvertible characters. NOTE: the return string WON'T be cp932-compatible.
• "remove": remove the cp932-inconvertible characters.
• "replace": (Default behaviour) replace the cp932-inconvertible characters with "?"

Currently supported unicode character blocks:

• Kangxi Radicals
• Print Standard Character
• Old type
• CJK Radicals Supplement
• Katakana Phonetic Extensions
• CJK Unified Ideographs
• CJK Compatibility Ideographs
• CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplements

Note:

• cp932-incompatible: characters which cannot encode to cp932 using string.encode(), but could potentially have equivalent cp932-encodable versions of themselves.
• cp932-inconvertible: characters which cannot encode to cp932, and doesn't have a cp932-encodable version.
