# This parses a file in the format of the above file and outputs a table
# suitable for bsearch(3). This table maps Unicode code points to their
# 'mirror'. (Mirroring is used when rendering RTL characters, see the Unicode
# standard). By convention, this mapping should be commutative, but this code
# doesn't enforce or check this.
