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.
POSIX.2.
NOTES¶
Repertoire maps are deprecated in favor of Unicode code points.
