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.
