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.
