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
       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.

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

NAME

       charmap - character set description file

DESCRIPTION

       A  character  set  description  (charmap)  defines  all	available characters and their encodings in a character set.  localedef(1) can use
       charmaps to create locale variants for different character sets.

   Syntax
       The charmap file starts with a header that may consist of the following keywords:

       <code_set_name>
	      is followed by the name of the character map.

       <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 ().

       <mb_cur_max>
	      is followed by the maximum number of bytes for a character.  The default value is 1.

       <mb_cur_min>
	      is followed by the minimum number of bytes for a character.  This value must be less than or equal than <mb_cur_max>.  If not speci-
	      fied, it defaults to <mb_cur_max>.

       The character set definition section starts with the keyword CHARMAP in the first column.

       The following lines may have one of the two following forms to define the character set:

       <character> byte-sequence comment
	      This form defines exactly one character and its byte sequence, comment being optional.

       <character>..<character> byte-sequence comment
	      This form defines a character range and its byte sequence, comment being optional.

       The character set definition section ends with the string END CHARMAP.

       The character set definition section may optionally be followed by a section to define widths of characters.

       The WIDTH_DEFAULT keyword can be used to define the default width for all characters not explicitly listed.  The default character width is
       1.

       The width section for individual characters starts with the keyword WIDTH in the first column.

       The following lines may have one of the two following forms to define the widths of the characters:

       <character> width
	      This form defines the width of exactly one character.

       <character>...<character> width
	      This form defines the width for all the characters in the range.

       The width definition section ends with the string END WIDTH.

FILES

       /usr/share/i18n/charmaps
	      Usual default character map path.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.2.

EXAMPLE

       The Euro sign is defined as follows in the UTF-8 charmap:

       <U20AC>	   /xe2/x82/xac EURO SIGN
