NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       loadunimap [options] [map]

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       The  loadunimap  command  is  obsolete  -  its  function  is  now built-in into setfont(8).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).

OPTIONS

       -o, --output=FILE
              save the old map to the FILE.

       -C, --console=DEV
              the console device to be used.

       -V, --version
              print version number.

       -h, --help
              print this usage message.

              The default directory for unicode mappings.
