@angadie/chittie-codepage

Zero-dependency, Buffer-free code-page encoder — maps strings to printer byte values across 76 code pages (cp437, cp858, windows-1252, …). The low-level text-encoding layer under @angadie/chittie-core.

Vendored from NielsLeenheer/CodepageEncoder @ 08e53e4 (MIT). Ships ESM source directly (no build step). See VENDOR.md. You rarely use this directly — it's a building block.

Install

pnpm add @angadie/chittie-codepage

Usage

import CodepageEncoder from '@angadie/chittie-codepage';

CodepageEncoder.encode('Hello', 'cp437');  // Uint8Array [48 65 6c 6c 6f]
CodepageEncoder.encode('é', 'cp858');      // Uint8Array [82]
CodepageEncoder.getEncodings();            // Codepage[] — all 76
CodepageEncoder.supports('cp858');         // boolean

Characters absent from the target code page encode to 0x3f (?). Sinhala, Tamil, and other complex scripts have no code page here — detect that with @angadie/chittie-text and rasterize instead.
