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
