  23 (1) Format of mapping files
  24
  25 Each line contains a code point and the corresponding Unicode
  26 character code separated by a space.  Both code points and Unicode
  27 character codes are in hexadecimal preceded by "0x".  Comments may be
  28 used, starting with "#".  Code ranges may also be used, with
  29 (inclusive) start and end code points separated by "-" followed by the
  30 Unicode of the start of the range
  31
  32 Examples:
  33 0xA0 0x00A0  # no-break space
  34
  35 0x8141-0x8143 0x4E04 # map onto a Unicode range

  38 (2) Source of mapping files
  39
  40 All mapping files are generated automatically from data files freely
  41 available on the Internet (e.g. glibc/localedata/charmaps").  See the
  42 file ../../admin/charsets/mapfiles/README for the detail.
