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.

STANDARDS

       POSIX.2.

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
