charmap -Defines character symbols as character encodings
DESCRIPTION
The character set description (charmap) source file defines character symbols as character
encodings.

The CHARMAP section must precede all other sections in the charmap file. The CHARMAP

sets have the portable character set as a proper subset. The portable character set consists of the
following character symbols (listed by their standardized symbolic names) and hexadecimal
encodings:
