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
       /usr/share/i18n/repertoiremaps
	      Usual default repertoire map path.

CONFORMING TO
       POSIX.2.

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

EXAMPLE
       A mnemonic for the Euro sign can be defined as follows:

       <Eu> <U20AC> EURO SIGN
