+(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.
