REPERTOIREMAP(5)               Linux User Manual              REPERTOIREMAP(5)

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  lo-
       caledef(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  col-
       umn.

       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
