The Unicode device driver enables Unicode and locales support for the kernel and other device drivers.

It is also required by JFS.IFS file system driver.

Note
This driver has hard coded the path of "<boot drive>:\LANGUAGE\CODEPAGE". If you move the folder from its location UNICODE.SYS will give you errors on boot, no matter if you changed the config.sys statement to the new location.
Note
This is one of the critical drivers for the OS/2 Kernel.
