loadunimap - load the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table
Contents
Description
The loadunimap command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into setfont(8). However, for
backwards compatibility it is still available as a separate command.
The program loadunimap loads the specified map in the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table. If no map is
given def mapping table is assumed. The default extension (that can be omitted) is .uni.
On Linux 2.6.1 and later one can specify the console device using the -C option.
Usually one does not call loadunimap directly - its function is also built into setfont(8).
Files
/usr/share/unimaps
The default directory for unicode mappings.
