NAME
repertoiremap - map symbolic character names to Unicode code points
DESCRIPTION
A repertoire map defines mappings between symbolic character names and
Unicode code points when compiling a locale with
localedef(1).
Using a repertoire map is optional, it is only needed 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 defaults 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.
