repertoiremap - map symbolic character names to Unicode code
points
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.
/usr/share/i18n/repertoiremaps
Usual default repertoire map path.
POSIX.2.
Repertoire maps are deprecated in favor of Unicode code points.
A mnemonic for the Euro sign can be defined as follows:
<Eu> <U20AC> EURO SIGN
locale(1), localedef(1), charmap(5), locale(5)
