            "content": "The  loadunimap command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into setfont(8).  However,\nfor backwards compatibility it is still available as a separate command.\n\nThe program loadunimap loads the specified map in the kernel unicode-to-font  mapping  table.\nIf no map is given def mapping table is assumed.  The default extension (that can be omitted)\nis .uni.\n\nIf the -o oldmap option is given, the old map is saved in the file specified.\n\nOn Linux 2.6.1 and later one can specify the console device using the -C option.\n\nUsually one does not call loadunimap directly - its function is also built into setfont(8).\n",
