NAME
repertoiremap - map symbolic character names to Unicode code points
DESCRIPTION
A repertoire map defines mappings between symbolic character names (mnemonics) and Unicode
code points when compiling a locale with localedef(1). Using a repertoire map is op-
tional, it is needed only when symbolic names are used instead of now preferred Unicode
code points.
Syntax
The repertoiremap file starts with a header that may consist of the following keywords:
comment_char
is followed by a character that will be used as the comment character for the rest
of the file. It defaults to the number sign (#).
escape_char
is followed by a character that should be used as the escape character for the rest
of the file to mark characters that should be interpreted in a special way. It de-
faults to the backslash (\).
The mapping section starts with the keyword CHARIDS in the first column.
The mapping lines have the following form:
<symbolic-name> <code-point> comment
This defines exactly one mapping, comment being optional.
The mapping section ends with the string END CHARIDS.
