Text tables now support both local and Unicode characters. A character in the
local character set is defined via the "byte" directive, and a Unicode
character is defined via the "char" directive. For convenience, the "byte"
keyword has been optional until now. With the introduction of Unicode character
support, starting off a character definition line with the character value,
i.e. with no keyword identifying the action to be taken, has become ambiguous
so that shortcut is no longer recognized. For example:
\x61 (1) # This syntax is no longer supported.
byte \x61 (1) # This defines a character in the local character set.
char \x61 (1) # This defines a Unicode character.
This change is effective as of revision 3845. All of BRLTTY's text tables have
been converted. Your personal text tables, however, may need to be updated.
