Can anybody tell me what a % sign [not a hash] as an operator means in PERL?
$lo = ($uni - 0x10000) % 0x400 + 0xDC00
IFF a % means the same as MOD in Livecode then
the formula in the recent stack I made to calculate surrogate pairs is not
as bad as it could be and only needs slight modification.
Perl - % - Modulus - Divides left hand operand by right hand operand and
returns remainder (perl tutorial)
LiveCode - Evaluates to the remainder left over when one number is divided by
another (LC dictionary)

Thanks: exactly the answer I wanted.
Couldn't find any ref to % by itself online oddly enough.
Richmond.
