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 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
