LOADUNIMAP(8)                                  System Manager's Manual                                  LOADUNIMAP(8)



NAME
       loadunimap - load the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table

SYNOPSIS
       loadunimap [ -C console ] [ -o oldmap ] [ map ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  loadunimap  command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into setfont.  However, for backwards com‐
       patibility 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 is assumed.  The default extension (that can be omitted) is .uni.

       If the -o oldmap option is given, the old map is saved in the file specified.

       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.

FILES
       /lib/kbd/unimaps is the default directory for unicode mappings.
