(1) Format of mapping files
Each line contains a code point and the corresponding Unicode
character code separated by a space. Both code points and Unicode
character codes are in hexadecimal preceded by "0x". Comments may be
used, starting with "#". Code ranges may also be used, with
(inclusive) start and end code points separated by "-" followed by the
unicode of the start of the range
Examples:
0xA0 0x00A0 # no-break space
0x8141-0x8143 0x4E04 # map onto a Unicode range
(2) Source of mapping files
All mapping files are generated automatically from data files freely
available on the Internet (e.g. glibc/localedata/charmaps"). See the
file ../../admin/charsets/Makefile for the detail.
