To create an entry for an expanding character, separate the main character from the expanded characters by a slash--for example, Æ/E.

Indicate ordering priorities by the following symbols:

*	Indicates a primary difference
+	Indicates a secondary difference
-	Indicates a tertiary difference
=	Indicates an equal relationship (or quarternary difference)

You can also use the following symbols:

$	Indicates that the following four characters reference a hexadecimal Unicode value
@	Indicates the position within the ordering of all characters not listed in the table
#	Indicates that this entire line is a comment
{}	Encloses comments within a single line

  # Control characters are all considered equal to NULL.
  
=$0000{NULL}
  =$0001{START OF HEADING}
  =$0002{END OF HEADING}
