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 lo-
caledef(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 col-
umn.
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
/usr/share/i18n/repertoiremaps
Usual default repertoire map path.
STANDARDS

NOTES
Repertoire maps are deprecated in favor of Unicode code points.
EXAMPLES
A mnemonic for the Euro sign can be defined as follows:
<Eu> <U20AC> EURO SIGN
