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.

FILES

CONFORMING TO

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