NAME
repertoiremap - map symbolic character names to Unicode code points
DESCRIPTION
A repertoire map defines mappings between symbolic character names 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.
