<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>unicode_start</B>
|
|
|
|
command will put the keyboard and console into Unicode (UTF-8) mode.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
For the keyboard this means that one can attach 16-bit U+xxxx values
|
|
to keyboard keys using
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+loadkeys">loadkeys</A></B>(1),
|
|
|
|
and have these appear as UTF-8 input to user programs.
|
|
Also, that one can type hexadecimal Alt-xxxx using the numeric keypad,
|
|
and again produce UTF-8.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
For the console this means that the kernel expects UTF-8 output
|
|
from user programs, and displays the output accordingly.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The parameter
|
|
<I>font</I>
|
|
|
|
is a font that is loaded. It should have a built-in Unicode map,
|
|
or, if it hasn't, such a map can be given explicitly as second parameter.
|
|
When no font was specified, the current font is kept.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>NOTE</H2>
|
|
|
|
Unicode mode is a parameter with a value per virtual console.
|
|
However, usually the font and keymap is common to all consoles.
