Encoding files

Most .tbl files below are generated by scripts/generate_encodings.py from Python's stdlib codecs. Run it to regenerate them, or with --check to verify without writing.

Generated files start with a # Generated by ... comment. A .tbl file without that comment is left alone, so you can add a hand-authored encoding anywhere under encodings/ without touching the script.

Every name listed below is a file: encodings/<name>.tbl, lowercased and otherwise unchanged, so #pragma encoding <name> works for any of them. Encodings with identical entries share them with an -include line instead of repeating them (every ASCII-transparent encoding includes ascii, for example), and a file named after an alias holds a single -alias line.

Generated file encodings

Codepages: one byte per character. Usable as: file, string, or custom encoding.

Encoding files

Most .tbl files below are generated by scripts/generate_encodings.py from Python's stdlib codecs. Run it to regenerate them, or with --check to verify without writing.

Generated files start with a # Generated by ... comment. A .tbl file without that comment is left alone, so you can add a hand-authored encoding anywhere under encodings/ without touching the script.

Every name listed below is a file: encodings/<name>.tbl, lowercased and otherwise unchanged, so #pragma encoding <name> works for any of them. Encodings with identical entries share them with an -include line instead of repeating them (every ASCII-transparent encoding includes ascii, for example), and a file named after an alias holds a single -alias line.

Generated file encodings

Codepages: one byte per character. Usable as: file, string, or custom encoding.
