I am only concerned right now about getting a clue about how to convert things like "\x{be}" into things like 0.75.

You mean like this?


use 5.14.0;
use strict;
use warnings;
use charnames qw/:full/;
use Unicode::UCD 0.32 qw/num/;

my @cp = (
    "bogus",
    "\N{DIGIT FOUR}\N{DIGIT TWO}",
    "\N{VULGAR FRACTION THREE QUARTERS}",
    "\N{VULGAR FRACTION TWO THIRDS}",
    "\N{VULGAR FRACTION ONE SEVENTH}",
    "\N{VULGAR FRACTION SEVEN EIGHTHS}",
    "\N{SUPERSCRIPT THREE}",
    "\N{SUBSCRIPT EIGHT}",
    "\N{FULLWIDTH DIGIT TWO}\N{FULLWIDTH DIGIT FIVE}",
    "\N{ROMAN NUMERAL EIGHT}",
    "\N{ROMAN NUMERAL ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND}",
    "\N{BENGALI DIGIT FOUR}\N{BENGALI DIGIT SEVEN}\N{BENGALI DIGIT FIVE}\N{BENGALI DIGIT SIX}",
    "\N{RUMI NUMBER SEVEN HUNDRED}",
    "\N{AEGEAN NUMBER NINETY THOUSAND}",
    "\N{ORIYA FRACTION THREE SIXTEENTHS}",
    "\N{TIBETAN DIGIT HALF ZERO}",
    "\N{TIBETAN DIGIT HALF ONE}",
    "\N{TIBETAN DIGIT HALF SEVEN}",
    "\N{BENGALI CURRENCY NUMERATOR ONE LESS THAN THE DENOMINATOR}",
    "\N{GREEK ACROPHONIC ATTIC FIFTY THOUSAND STATERS}",
);

for my $cp (@cp) {
    printf "%s\t= %20s\tU+%vX\n", $cp, num($cp) // "NaN", $cp;
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
