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 and Unicode code points
       when compiling a locale with localedef(1).  Using a repertoire map is optional, it is only
       needed 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.
