NAME

6       repertoiremap - map symbolic character names to Unicode code points
7

DESCRIPTION

9       A  repertoire  map  defines  mappings  between symbolic character names
10       (mnemonics) and Unicode  code  points  when  compiling  a  locale  with
11       localedef(1).   Using  a  repertoire map is optional, it is needed only
12       when symbolic names are used instead  of  now  preferred  Unicode  code
13       points.
14
15   Syntax
16       The  repertoiremap  file  starts  with a header that may consist of the
17       following keywords:
18
19       comment_char
20              is followed by a character that will  be  used  as  the  comment
21              character  for  the rest of the file.  It defaults to the number
22              sign (#).
23
24       escape_char
25              is followed by a character that should be  used  as  the  escape
26              character  for  the  rest  of  the  file to mark characters that
27              should be interpreted in a special  way.   It  defaults  to  the
28              backslash (\).
29
30       The  mapping  section starts with the keyword CHARIDS in the first col‐
31       umn.
32
33       The mapping lines have the following form:
34
35       <symbolic-name> <code-point> comment
36              This defines exactly one mapping, comment being optional.
37
38       The mapping section ends with the string END CHARIDS.
