NAME<\/a> charmap \u2212 character set description file<\/p>\n A character set description (charmap) defines all available characters and their encodings in a character set. localedef<\/b>(1) can use charmaps to create locale variants for different character sets.<\/p>\n Syntax<\/b> is followed by the name of the character map.<\/p>\n <comment_char<\/i>><\/p>\n 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 (#).<\/p>\n <escape_char<\/i>><\/p>\n 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 ().<\/p>\n <mb_cur_max<\/i>><\/p>\n is followed by the maximum number of bytes for a character. The default value is 1.<\/p>\n <mb_cur_min<\/i>><\/p>\n is followed by the minimum number of bytes for a character. This value must be less than or equal than <mb_cur_max<\/i>>. If not specified, it defaults to <mb_cur_max<\/i>>.<\/p>\n The character set definition section starts with the keyword CHARMAP<\/i> in the first column.<\/p>\n The following lines may have one of the two following forms to define the character set: This form defines exactly one character and its byte sequence, comment<\/i> being optional.<\/p>\n <character<\/i>>..<character<\/i>>\u00a0byte-sequence\u00a0comment<\/i><\/p>\n This form defines a character range and its byte sequence, comment<\/i> being optional.<\/p>\n The character set definition section ends with the string END CHARMAP<\/i>.<\/p>\n The character set definition section may optionally be followed by a section to define widths of characters.<\/p>\n The WIDTH_DEFAULT<\/i> keyword can be used to define the default width for all characters not explicitly listed. The default character width is 1.<\/p>\n The width section for individual characters starts with the keyword WIDTH<\/i> in the first column.<\/p>\n The following lines may have one of the two following forms to define the widths of the characters: This form defines the width of exactly one character.<\/p>\n <character<\/i>>…<character<\/i>>\u00a0width<\/i><\/p>\n This form defines the width for all the characters in the range.<\/p>\n The width definition section ends with the string END WIDTH<\/i>.<\/p>\n \/usr\/share\/i18n\/charmaps<\/i><\/p>\n Usual default character map path.<\/p>\n POSIX.2.<\/p>\n The Euro sign is defined as follows in the UTF\u22128<\/i> charmap:<\/p>\n
