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 reper‐
toire map is optional, 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 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.
FILES

CONFORMING TO

NOTES
Repertoire maps are deprecated in favor of Unicode code points.
EXAMPLES

<Eu> <U20AC> EURO SIGN
