[_LOADUNIMAP_(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/LOADUNIMAP/8/markdown)                          System Manager's Manual                         [_LOADUNIMAP_(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/LOADUNIMAP/8/markdown)

## 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       The  **loadunimap **command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into [**setfont**(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/setfont/8/markdown).  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_.

       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**(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/setfont/8/markdown).

## FILES
       _/usr/share/unimaps_
              The default directory for unicode mappings.

       _/usr/share/unimaps/def.uni_
              The default mapping file.
