52.11 Display Tables

You can use the display table feature to control how all 256 possible character codes display on the screen. This is useful for displaying European languages that have letters not in the ASCII character set.

The display table maps each character code into a sequence of runes, each rune being an image that takes up one character position on the screen. You can also define how to display each rune on your terminal, using the rune table.
