Some characters in map files are reserved for special use by UnitySync (i.e. ^ { ~ etc). If you need these characters to be included literally in a custom mapping, you must ’escape’ the character with a preceding \ character.

In your custom map file, use the following strings to represent the desired literal character. For example if you want the include the suffix [ABC] to the incoming ’Company’ value, the mapping would be:

company=^company^ \[ABC\]

\] ]
\[ [
\} }
\{ {
\~ ~
\^ ^
\# #
\% %


Note:  Round parens ( ) do not need to be escapted.
