okay bestie, this page is con_set_default_unimap(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and the name is literally doing the most: con_set_default_unimap — set default unicode map. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int con_set_default_unimap (struct vc_data *vc );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vc — the console we are updating. that's the one getting the glow-up, bestie 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this routine loads the unimap for the hardware font, as defined in uni_hash.tbl. The representation used was the most compact I could come up with — like, lowkey iconic compactness, no cap. ✨

This routine is executed at video setup, and when the PIO_FONTRESET ioctl is called. so yeah, it's showing up in those moments 🫶

bestie, the caller must hold the console lock — fr fr, don't skip this one. 🔒💀
